loose is 'lose'

for those spelling challenged few. I make mistax as well, but i've seen loose when it should have been lose about 20 times in the last week while checking out comments.

pls take note of the appropriate spelling

Yet "your"/"you're" doesn't bother you?

That's the most common one I'm seeing anywhere these days.

That does as well.. Loose is.. well loose. perhaps ppl who don't have english as a first language have an excuse. I try to read my text as I type to satch anything that doesn't sound right.

It's such a common word, so it amazes me ppl could mess it up so often.

And no one seems to know how to spell definitely properly. This drives me a little bonkers ...

I'm more concerned with capitalization. I'd rather see misspelled words than acronyms and casual abbreviations.

Alot of people are very nit-picky when it comes to spelling and grammar online for, in most cases, very stupid reasons. So I'm always googling words I'm uncertain on.

Alot is also supposed to be "a lot" .. lol :P

And I just want to make it known that anyway is not anywayS. There's no S.

The whole there/their/they're thing really irritates me.. while we're on the topic of annoying grammar and spelling errors.

Another thing that annoys me is when people say, "You just want to have your cake and eat it too.". What good is a freaking cake if you can't eat it?! Should I eat someone else's cake instead?

noone/no one

And holli, that's the point...

Can't say much as I'm not a native, figuratively speaking, but I have noticed "natives" tend to have spelling errors more frequently than us colonized bastards who had to learn the language from TV and rock and roll records.

But that cannot be applied to work as a rule all the time, kinda, and typos don't count, everybody does them.

Go figure. Piece out.
