It's LOSE not LOOSE

Emlyn_Dewar · 5 Oct 2007 at 13:34

I'm not sure if it's just me but I notice the word lose being typed loose at least 10,000 times a day...

Lose, e.g. He is a loser, I'm going to lose, I'm losing the plot.

Loose, e.g. My tooth was loose, just need to loosen the timings, "Loose, footloose, Kick off your Sunday shoes"

That is all.

To the OP:

You are fighting a 'loosing' battle.

You loose at life.

This forum isn't a novel or a perfect English forum. Welcome to the internet, people don't bother to check their spelling and grammar, who cares?

That's the millionth time this week I've seen someone post an exaggeration.

EDIT: dammit, beaten to an uber funny joke.

Emlyn_Dewar · 5 Oct 2007 at 13:46

But I don't mind bad spelling, it's the fact that they are two different words and I just wonder how so many people can do it.

Sorry i'm not writing an English exam. There is no English teacher marking my posts.

Im generally not too good at English anyway, threads like these really annoy me.

Makes me feel smart

Some people get so offended when they're told (jokingly) that they loose at life

Then don't read them then?
It's quite clear from the topic title what the thread was going to be about.

Education. Or lack of.

It's the 'txt' generation coming through. Sadly
