Loose-Lose-Your-You're

Dear MFP people - I know that spelling and grammar is really the last thing that should be worried about on here, and I do not mean to offend anyone or make them feel dumb/stupid or anything like that. I know my grammar isn't perfect and my spelling also just fails miserably a lot. But I keep reading a lot of posts wrong and get a bit of a giggle out of it -

The main one is Loose when you mean Lose -
Just remember Loose is like Goose - but with an L....
I know Lose doesn't look right but it is - silly english language.

Thanks to my smart-*kitten* friends I get annoyed when people write 'your' when it should be 'you're'

Anyone else get annoyed with this too?? I know it's silly and really doesn't mean anything in the long run.

Also apparently the term 'Grammar Nazi' is actually offensive to some people - Mainly due to the word Nazi - I never thought of it to actually be so literal and would offend - so we will need to call it something more politically correct - Grammar Police?
