The opposite of win is LOSE. The opposite of tight is LOOSE.

[Caution]

ARGGHHHHHH! Please stop misspelling lose as loose. I hate that one. Looser means less tight, not one who does not win. That is a loser. Please, please, please wrap your heads around this simple thing.

OK. I'm done ranting now.

6. Elections like this one can

make one prone to tilting at windmills.

Just don't start with it's and its. :crazy:

[Lautremont]

7. Seriesly!

That one gets me almost as much as "loose." I so often want to rant about these things as well. People always parry with lame arguments about how it's the gist that counts, not the spelling, but I say, and this holds especially to a supposed smart-people political site, that it all counts. If the person can't manage basic spelling and grammar, how is anyone supposed to take their opinion on world affairs "seriesly"?

9. Its pretty common to make that mistake.

Their not trying to anger you.

You can allways ignore them.

Mispellings are something we see every day.

Your being very picky.

Senator Kerrey would rather you were more tolerant.

OK. I'm done ranting now.

11. its vs. it's

its is the possessive

it's is a contraction of it is.....


(major pet peeve of mine)

[RebelOne]

20. My pet peeve, too.

Didn't see your post and I posted the same thing at bottom. Also, everyone needs to read "Eats, Shoots & Leaves."

[bloodyjack]

12. you need to losen up, man

:D

[saracat]

14. Thank you. That is done so often, I thought that I was wrong!

You saved my sanity! My spelling has been shot to hell because I correct hubby's misspelling on papers and now can no longer spell myself! But this is one that I recognize and it really is annoying.

18. Oh, their, they're now.

Lets not get so picky. We are all in this together, remember? It's so stresfull, you know....all the poles, the races, ect. We don't want to be like the freeper's do we? We have to calm down and not loose our minds over this. I know the spelling and grammer can get kind of lose around here but its because we are all under allot of stress! :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

[RebelOne]

19. It drives me crazy when people don't know the difference

between lose and loose. Also, I want to scream when it's and its are confused. It's means it is. Its is a possessive pronoun.

[Richardo]

21. ...and when you take a BREATH you BREATHE...

:eyes: I hate that one.

[edbermac]

22. Can I ax you a question?
