lose vs. loose

This makes me crazy. People: you want to LOSE weight, you do not want LOOSE skin. I don't think it is possible to "loose weight". That's all folks.

Since "lose" should be spelt "looz" anyway, I'm not losing sleap over it.

English spelling is completely irrational.

I've pretty much given up hoping that the majority of people on this site will use proper English.

Trust me, you're fighting a losing battle.

Proper English died with Chaucer.

That's a pet peeve of mine as well. I also cringe every time someone writes "your" when they mean "you're." In order to maintain my sanity, I just think about this blog post every time I come across bad grammar in a forum: http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html

The hyperboleandahalf blog is hilarious and drives the point home - well to some - it's a start.
