It is "lose," not "loose!"

If you want to get rid of weight, you lose it. If something is the opposite of tight, it is loose. I know we all make mistakes from time to time, but this one is so common that it is driving me crazy!

    So many times I have to stop myself from correcting people... it's a bad habit!!

    But yes, these things are very annoying.

    This common mistake is one of my biggest peeves, especially when you see the correct spelling constantly, yet still spell it wrong. I keep it to myself and let it go. ;-D

    I've been biting my tongue. People are afraid to post on my FB page for fear that I will correct their spelling and grammar. HA!

    The your vs. you're and they're, there, their things also put me WAY over the edge. *sigh*
