Just for Fun; "Loosing it"

[clemlaw]

As my sainted ninth-grade English teacher taught, "loose goose lose whose". Just remember which one it rhymes with, and you can't go wrong.

A few weeks ago, a young Scout sent me an email request for a "border review." :-)

[skeptic]

I would probably put something like "tu" or "tew" or something denoting the spelling sounds, and it would use quotation marks of other set off indicators. Same could be done with other words.

Ohh..the loose/lose thing drives me NUTS!!! I've seen the error in our local newspaper, repeatedly!!! I just bite my tongue...

Just ignore it. Almost anything makes "text speak" look like something by a famous writer.

we should distinguish amoung the various vocabulary ills of which we speak. There is the story of the Heir to the largest Hare farm in all of Texas who due to chemotherapy had no hair

 

Or is that neither hear nor their?

He was,like, "I have to go to school now, but mom was like 'don't forget your lunch' but I was like, 'got it, mom' and she was like 'ok, have a good day' and I was like "see ya later, mom'. I mean, she's a smart lady, and she's like only 45 years old, so she should be like aware of my like responsible nature, don'tcha think?"
