loose vs lose

is this a new net slang thing I'm not aware of?

I notice this a lot here


let loose the ties that bind us. did I just lose my lighter again? I certainly did not set it loose, it can't walk. think I left it my friend's car so loost


not spelling police, just curious

I think it's more decades of a slow burn into lack of illiteracy, then when you call it out someone says you're a nerd while they post from their shitty Hyundai Elantra on their cracked iphone.

loose refers to something not being tight or fixed, lose involves misplacing something

Loose - meaning she sleeps around or her ropes are coming off
Lose - is when the escort debits your card for $35,000 instead of $350 for the half hour.

If anyone's feeling brave they could try explaining when to use "it's" with an apostrophe and when to use "its" without one.

it's annoying to me when people misspell 'lose'

a contraction of 'it is', or a possessive as in belonging to someone or something


the baby goat that eats my carrots is adorable. its tail wagging makes me laugh

its is used mostly used for non living or gender non-specific stuff in place of his, her, their


all this stuff really doesn't annoy me. just baffling how first-lang english speakers can't master 3 and 4 letter words

I honestly thought the whole loose vs lose thing might just be an internet trend or something, it occurs so frequently

At this point, I've embraced some aspects of Idiocracy and let spell-check & autocorrect handle most of it. It's kept me out of trouble with the spelling police. Especially on mobile. Typing on a glass screen without spell-check and autocorrect training wheels seems impossible for me.

possessive nouns can often refer to inanimate stuff in one's possession

it's/its is way more complicated than loose/lose. those latter two words are pronounced differently, y'all who do this know this

but Mark isn't incorrect

'it' would be past tense. 'it's' signifies the possessive in something ongoing

yes

still correct. he was referring to a 'thing' that is keeping him out of trouble with the spelling police

he's correct

I wouldn't wish ESL on anyone as it's third place to Mandarin and Cantonese, but come on

I really don't care about any of this, now that I know what's up with that extra 'o'

funny though

and again, KM not incorrect

I'm really not the spelling police, just wondered about why all of a sudden ery'one uses an extra vowel

probs all the offenders on auto correct and they're like, whelp got an L and a O and as S and a E in it. the extra O makes it cooler

you're discussing this with a person with a dislike for capital letters and does weird framing of paragraphs

I'll be the first one they come for

in love with you both, if thou hath forsaken me, please let me know =p


but KM is correct either way


I'm meeting my not-bf's (my choice) mom tomorrow. will be super nervous as moms are not in the same category as the rest of us. have met her daughters/nephews/nieces and good reviews apparently. likewise, I like his people. just want a relationship right now

tomorrow we'll be talking and no one will give a fuck about apostrophes in Patois or english

looking forward to spending time with her cuz she probs has a lot tell me about her 75 years in JA

already nervous. confident it will go fine and be fun though

that one is easy compared to navigating the morass of it's vs its. a common error but not nearly as ubiquitous as the loose vs lose thing

if that's not a trend then means autocomplete on phones is fucking with us. probably how skynet started


your weed is too strong. makes me fuck up my spelling or drop pertinent words like 'don't' in my previous post. then I get lost in a wicked track and kitten scritching and by the time I've noticed my error the edit window has passed

your means belonging to someone. a possessive


you're gonna pick me up at 2pm sunday?

you're is a contraction of you are


will try not to loose my lighter in his car
