    I know, right? What about the people who weight themselves to find out how much they weigh?

    A LOT of people are here are saying they are here to LOOSE weight. its LOSE. Loose means not tight. LOSE is to get rid of.

    LOL -- oh there are so many English language miss-spells that drive me nuts! I often wonder if people are really that ignorant or if they truly are just making typos.

    O..ok....It's about using the word loose instead of lose.....I've gotten so used to people not spelling words right ( or using the wrong word altogether), I don't even notice it anymore.

    LOL - It took me a second, but this is too funny. Now I am wondering if I have made the same mistake.
    I pride myself on being fairly good at spelling and grammar, but my brain does not always work correctly and I type quickly to get my thoughts out before the kids need something....I know I have made so many typos on here. :)

    I know. I figure that some people do it once or twice on accident, but there are some posts where people do it repeatedly and I can't help but think they either don't read what they type before they post, or they honestly don't know the difference.

    Ok...I'll be honest. I had to read all the posts before I got it. :) I was trying to figure out the riddle.
