Does this annoy anyone else? I dont mean to sound like a bish and all, but everytime I read that someone wants to 'loose' weight I about rip my hair out. you want to LOSE weight so your clothes are LOOSE on you. Thanks for letting me vent... if even only to myself ;)

    Oh, so glad someone else started this one! It drives me nuts! Especially on a site that if for people trying to lose weight. There are other websites for those that are loose.

    I'm sorry, I know it IS nit picky, but I agree with you. It really irks me, but I'm a spell freak. I don't correct though, don't think that's very nice unless the correction is warranted.

    To be fair...if you do a search for "loose" and "lose" you will get back a couple million results.

    :laugh: I just did a search for lose and loose and got 50 pages of results. Some going back almost a year. I think its safe to say no matter how many times a new topic gets posted about it it will never go away.

    May be there goal is to have loose weight when they lose weight. Their maybe some correlation to the two for them (Just thought I'd throw some other errors in THERE to MAYBE aggrivate some people.)
