i dont mind the spelling mistakes, you get used to them
what i don't get is why people say "could care less". if you could care less, then there is less you could care. the term is "couldn't care less" that way there is no less you could care.0 -
For our American friends, if you wish to adopt 'whinging' into your vocabulary, then the correct pronounciation is..
win-jing... (not win-ging)
I love little linguistic differences like this. The first time I heard someone call bangs a "fringe" I was very confused. And we won't even go into the issue of "fanny." :laugh:
Also, death to all who use "to" when it should be "too." I bite my thumb at you.0 -
add an 'o' to be a looser...have more room to wiggle around ie: "this sweater is too loose on me now that I lost weight."
drop and 'o' to be a loser...ie: "I need to lose weight so that my sweaters will be more loose on me."
That's how I remember how to spell it lol.0 -
Thank you for the laff. Oh wait, is that laugh? ;-)0

Oh, and how about the use of "to" & "too". EVERY time someone wants to say there is "TOO much butter" and instead puts "TO much butter", my brain reads it as it's supposed to be and I have to do a double take to understand what the writer actually meant. :-P0

the fact that so much intellect is wasted on this type of thing makes me laugh.0

The problem with what people often brand "spelling mistakes" is that they aren't actually misspells. People actually don't know the right word, and easily make the mistake.
It's important that someone issues little reminders periodically so people actually know what's right, because "lose" and "loose" are different words with different meanings.0 -

What was the original question or statement? Hey, but who's whinging anyways.0

That was going to be my question. I totally want to start using 'whinging'. It's amazing!0 -
No, this is an IQ thing.
HAHAHAHAH! I like this guy.0 -
reading this thread is making me insane.0

I need a grammar thread ticker instead of a weight loss ticker as a sig!

Ah, a language barrier.
"To whinge" is the English (British) equivalent of the English (American) "to whine."
Semicolon is one word. Yes, looks like it was used incorrectly unless there are British punctuation rules I don't know.
We use both terms, here in New Zealand!
so do we in the UK0 -
No, this is an IQ thing.

I am guilty of spelling it wrong often...
and I DON'T CARE!
Why are people so insane as to get upset by spelling mistakes?!
Maybe I should add a disclaimer to my profile, "dyslexic do not friend me if you get upset by spelling mistakes"
*rolls eyes*0 -
No, this is an IQ thing.
BTW that's an English slang way of saying "great" in case anyone was wondering!0
