Loose vs. Lose

[Jeremy + Kristy 0]

From the Queen of Wands in September of 2005, but I've seen this more and more, the more time I spend on forums. I just don't understand why people get this wrong:

Biggest pet peeve EVER. If you misplace something, you LOSE it. If something is baggy on you, it is LOOSE. Not tight = loose. Misplace, or opposite of win = LOSE. One o. Just one. Don't put the extra one in there. Save your fingers for other more important things, like putting the y and o in front of the letter 'u'. Okay? Thanks.

It's deja-VU.

Grammar Nazi en francais! And before the French speakers come in and remind me of accent marks and cedillas, I don't know how to do 'em and I'm too lazy to figure it out on this keyboard.

You sound much like someone I know and his pedantic ramblings on the misuse of the words advice versus advise. Are you a bird reincarnated ?

And, BTW, steve, it's Deja Vu

What about "pacific" instead of "specific". That one makes me nuts!

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Well there is accepted slang...or at least it seems to be widely accepted, like 'prolly' for probably, although that one bothers me.

Why is it always the people who know how to spell things correctly who are in these threads? Well, except for the deja vu thing, which I won't bring up....

i dont no wut u'll r talking about. i never c ne spelling miztakes on hear.

I couldn't care less if people make spelling mistakes as long as I can figure out what they're talkin about . Sometimes I get really carried away when I'm typing something and I have no idea that I've made a mistake.
