    Lose [Looz]: to come to be without

    Loose [Loos]: free from anything that binds or restrains; unfettered

    Ahhh. I feel better. :ohwell:

    You forgot loss - the fact or process of losing something or someone.

    I'm a grammar-nazi too! hahahah

    I prefer this definition for "loose": set free; release. As in "loose the hounds".

    I imagine someone unleashing their weight as a weapon. It's a fun mental image, like the "alot": http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html

    That's how I read it too.

    And I :heart: the alot. :laugh:

    It's Coke. It's not pop. Pop is the first half of corn.

    Thanks so much... this has been on my list of annoying things too! :wink:

    How about typing "prolly" instead of "probably"? I think people think "prolly" is the actual word.

    naw that's slang...

    Come with Jessica and I to the store.

    Should be "Come with Jessica and me to the store."

    I've met people that use the word serial instead of serious. Wha? I want to tell them the only thing they're serial about is not using the word serious correctly.

    Love this topic. How about people who pronounce the "t" in often? It is actually silent and does not make you sound more articulate. Or my other favorite is "irregardless" instead of "regardless" :noway:

    Pet peeve = "ones", as in "You can take the books on the table, and I will take the ones on the shelf."

    "One" is a singular term, so how can you have more than one singluar term? That would imply more than one and there are two or more of the item.

    Supposedly vs supposably... unless you are Joey on Friends, it's not okay.
