When you "lose" weight, your clothes will be come "loose".

Lose

Loose

Two entirely different words with different meanings!

    Spelling error when complaining about using the wrong word. Hilarious right?

    you could have easily done a search and seen this topic a thousand times. I get tired of seeing people post about complaining about things that aren't important.

    I know it is annoying-I get REALLY annoyed with it and have been tempted to correct people SO MANY TIMES-but let's all remember that none of us are perfect, and actually, spelling is not that big of a deal. The English language is just a mish-mash of various other languages anyway. We can have one word with two or three completely different meanings. And, at the end of the day, I would care more about the content of what someone is saying, rather than the way the spell it.

    I may be sucking the fun out of what was supposed to be a humorous jab. It is definitely a sucking-the-fun-out-of-everything day for me :p

    Agreed.
    Also, not everyone speaks English as a first language. I'm French and have mixed the two quite often. And isn't there a thread about this 2-3x a week?!

    Just remember to drop the bass, but please don't drop the bass.

    I am a Grammar Nazi, but I'm also dyslexic. I know damn well if I correct someone else's grammar or spelling, I'll write the word "the" as "teh." So I don't.

    Because it's all about that "base", 'bout that bass, no treble.



    Taking it one step further:

    Drop the bass, but don't drop your bass. Also, don't let the bass get away.

    English is fun. :smiley:

    Dear Posters,

    a) Do not attack, mock, or otherwise insult others. You can respectfully disagree with the message or topic, but you cannot attack the messenger. This includes attacks against the user’s spelling or command of written English, or belittling a user for posting a duplicate topic.

    b) If you are attacked by another user, and you reciprocate, you will also be subject to the same consequences. Defending yourself or a friend is not an excuse! Do not take matters into your own hands – instead, use the Report Post link to report an attack and we will be happy to handle the situation for you.
