Its lose not loose

Yeah!! Oh wait you mean me! :bigsmile:

OK

*Grunt* *poke* *point* Jeanette *bark* *sratch* *snif*

no I didnt mean you I ment people
in general. lol you can bark and scratch as long as you dont hump my leg lol

Oh wow!!! It thought this was an Introduction Forum on a weight loss site ..Correcting spelling and grammar on here is as appropriate as telling your English teacher she should LOSE some weight. Seriously ....someone has too much time on thier hands.

The one thing that gets me is that people who in other places will mix up "loose" and "lose" will almost always get it exactly right when discussing The Biggest LOSER.

There is no generalization!!

(And not that anyone here has done it in this thread, but while we're on grammatical pet peeves, plurals do NOT need apostrophes! Thank you! )

Some typos are fine though (I'm bound to make a few), it's just major lack of care that makes things so bloody hard to read I feel.

My worst typo is 'because' I tend to type 'becuase'. I annoy myself over it!

On an informal forum I can't say I give a whoot as long as I can understand the post... I make the odd mistake but don't we all!? Surely, we aren't all perfect! :noway:

Eye no IM purfct

Hell no we're not all perfect, far from it. But my feeling is if someone at least makes an effort to write correctly (silly typos aside), it's a sign of intelligence. I think their opinions may be more respected and carry more weight than anyone who writes 'c u nxt tues m8 yeah 'av a cider n a finger beehind bus shel'er'.

Some text such as LOL, WTF etc in my book is fine, I use them all the time but I can be understood with what I type. And bugger me, I'm registered as dyslexic, if anyone should be writing twoddle it's me!

lol my 14 yr old niece was chating with me on facebook and she kept saying wut insted of what.When I asked her why she said because it was easier.You know what I hate WhEn PEoPle TyPe LiKe ThIs. wtf

Yes, it was ironic that I was grammatically incorrect on a grammatical correction thread.

Now I watched a programme that said Alanis Morrisette's song "ironic" was full of things that weren't actually ironic at all. So 10,000 spoons when all she needed was a knife wasn't ironic. For it to have been ironic, she would have needed to be a spoon maker. Or a general cutlery merchant maybe. Although for all I know, she may well have been big in spoons before her music career. I digress. My point is, for your statement to have been ironic, you would have needed to have been a grammar teacher.which maybe you are. :laugh:

And I'm not even sure that anything could have made a black fly in her chardonay ironic. That's just annoying.
