    This ^^

    It's likely just as often a typo as bad grammar anyway.

    Edit: fix typo

    Every time I read loose weight, I think about weight that is dangling off of a stomach. "I really want to loose weight" "If it's any more loose, it will touch your feet!"

    Might want to search topics before you post. Reading hundreds of threads on the same topic is almost as irritating as reading the spelling and grammar errors on here.

    Well, since we're on the generalization bandwagon, I see that you're living up to the stereotype!

    Grammar is the difference between knowing your s--t and knowing you're s--t!

    Seriously? Find something else to complain about. I often mispell or sometimes even just get plain lazy but I'm pretty sure you still get what I'm trying to say, so who the **** cares?

    I'm sure eventually lose will become loose. Language is not static.
