I hate to be the spelling police...

...but for the last time it's LOSE weight, not LOOSE!!! Loose is an adjective, not a verb. Loose is the word that describes what your clothes should be after you LOSE! Lol!
I let a lot of things slide but I am getting really sick of seeing that! I know not everyone cares about spelling and grammar, but that is bugging me a lot. That is all, carry on. :-)

Loose can also be a verb, but not a common one... and not one most people would use on MFP!
Loose as in loosing an arrow - not a common usage. ( It means the point at which you "fire")0 -
This won't be the last time...
Perhaps the last time this hour? That's probably more likely lol0 -
Hey spelling police....loose is not a noun, it is an adjective. if you are going to be obnoxious and correct people, then make sure you are correct. Where did you go to school. A noun is a person, place or thing......an adjective describes a noun....loose shirt. Shirt is a noun and loose is the adjective. get it?????0

I was thinking maybe these people should use the Search function. Oh, the ironing!
Edited to add: Never start anything with 'I hate to" or "I don't mean to be offensive but," if you are gonna *****, you need to OWN it. Balls out.0 -
Why does it bother you? Not everyone is perfect!!0

Yeah, I have seen multiple posts like this one. It never helps.:indifferent:
I've just learned to ignore the wrong spelling & concentrate on what the person is trying to get across.0 -

And all this emotion while there are starving children in Africa......for some people English is their second language - and for others like myself - we just suck at spelling......:-)0

I'm with you. The lose/loose error makes me roll my eyes.0

It annoys me as well but then I just laugh and wonder how people managed to graduate elementary school. I swear text speak is killing the English language.0

I wouldn't say she was "loose"...I think the term these days is "user-friendly".

So do I, but I dislike people that correct others with incorrect information......0

Here's the mnemonic device to help those remember the difference. Loose rhymes with goose. If the word you're wanting to use sounds like the word that rhymes with goose, then add 2 o's. It helps my students. But in all fairness, our English language leaves a lot to be desired with its rhyme and reason.0

Great, now I have the "A noun is a person, place or thiiiiiing..." song stuck in my head. Which will then lead into 'Conjunction Junction, what's your function?" followed by "I'm just a Bill.."0
