I am SO FREAKING TIRED of people who don't know the difference between "lose" and "loose."

Y'all are ILLITERATES!!

LOL - you're post is hilarious, but I do agree with you. I think people who do that are morans.

[PGalt]

LOL! Reading 50 posts is enough to BUMP OUTSTANDING FReeper humor! LOL!

[Elyse]

You’ve gotten so many responses that I can’t take the time to read them all. I’m a very intelligent person and I know the difference between lose and loose, there and their, too and to, etc. Sometimes I’m typing away and I just have a brain fart and use the wrong word and I hit the post button without proofreading it first. It happens. Don’t let it ruin your day. :)

Whut? Not halving phun any more? lol

[rawhide]

There is a forum for personal vanity threads, this is not the place. That is why! You have a problem with people opposing your posting vanities in News/Activism?

[ßuddaßudd]

Their has got to be another way.

Here’s mine: About 99.9% who use the phrase “begs the question” have no freaking idea what it means or how to use it correctly. “Then” and “than” are two more landmines for the semi-literate...

[adorno]

I no whatchu meen.

I always wander, after I let lose of a post and poast it, “Did I spelt that word corectly”?

Pet peeve: taking something personal (vs. personally).

Burns my a$$

[chris_bdba]

I so know what you mean! The one that I hate the most is when they spell copyright as copywrite I want to scream! Or instead of using an they think it is and. I can see the difference between when it is a typo and when the person doesn’t have a clue.

Bump to read tommorrow......

All I know is that I’m quite anxious to finish watching season 1 on DVD because in seasons 2 & 3, Gilligan and the rest of the castaways are in color.
