Grammar and Spelling Lesson of the Day...
 

I am sure many of you will say that you do this on accident, and I could easily go along with that excuse if you only did this once or twice, but not the over and over and over again that I see regularly. We have been through the YOUR YOU'RE stuff before. We have also been through the THERE THEIR and THEY'RE stuff before. Lately though, I have seen this new error too many times to not warrant some education.

lose

1. to come to be without (something in one's possession or care), through accident, theft, etc., so that there is little or no prospect of recovery: I'm sure I've merely misplaced my hat, not lost it.
2. to fail inadvertently to retain (something) in such a way that it cannot be immediately recovered: I just lost a dime under this sofa.
3. to suffer the deprivation of: to lose one's job; to lose one's life.
4. to be bereaved of by death: to lose a sister.

Learn it, love it, USE it correctly!

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

It's bought and brought that usually makes me wish I could reach through my router and strangle someone.

I dint gits no edumacations,I can count to potato

i sale short icq

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh my writer friend would bust on my for this and taught me a good way to remember...

LOOSE - a woman has a loose vagina... two O's represent tits. Or my balls are loose, two O's represent each testicle (only works for you guys that have 2).

LOSE - your a loser, I lose my mind. All are 1 thing with 1 "o"

:thumbsup

I before E except after C

Met and Meet!

You're

=)

There, their, they?re

there is a place, they?re is ?they are?!

Their, on the other hand is the possessive, of them, and is used when talking about their money, their size or their awesomeness, but never ever their awesome!


Definitely, definately, definitaly

Definately and definitaly do not exist! It?s definitely and that?s definite and final.

Could have vs could of

He could have brought me a brand new iPad from New York.

On the other hand, ?could of? means absolutely nothing and people who use it should be lined up and beat down.

Your and You're

?your? and ?you?re?. ?Your? is a possessive pronoun: Your car is green. ?You?re? is a contraction of ?you are?: You?re a great swimmer.

A lot

The correct spelling of ?a lot?, which is not ?alot?. ?A lot?, meaning ?many? or ?a large amount or number?, is an informal expression that should be written as two words.


:helpme:2 cents:

Pheonsay, are you looking for a Sponser?

I'm an atheist, I don't believe in grammar ...

That's an easy one.

Just remember this:

You are losing money because you have no idea what you're doing.

Your mom is a loose fithy whore.

THANK YOU ERIC for pointing this out. It's been driving me nuts for a long time now (admittedly, a short drive).

The example I use to try and educate these grammatical morons is this:

"You LOSE your mind; your vagina is LOOSE."

Eric is loose.

If PastorSinAlot clicks on this one he's going to be confused as fuck.

I went too they're house too watch a movie, than we went to there pool in they're backyard. My pants were lose the hole time, though.

Finally an edumacation Thread, congrats Eric:thumbsup

Ah, a thread I can appreciate. But are you sure people aren't doing it BY accident?

(Please don't ban me :uhoh )

Add:

I would/could/should *have*.....
not I would of
grrr.

This one jumps out at me, too. Oh, that's another one - to vs too (as in 'also' or 'an excessive amount').
I went to the store to get me some beer and cigarettes too, but they were too busy so I came back home.

I am sure many of you will say that you do this by accident.

Please don't ban me Mr Admin

English is not my first language and although i make a lot of mistakes the words you mentioned are no problem for.

This is something that does NOT bother me on chat boards especially when I consider that a Larger number of these people are speaking English as a second language.

If they say something confusing, I just ask.

:banana


.,.

It's often the native English speakers that tend to write like a mong, and nobody can really complain about someone who is ESL - especially as if you reversed the situation most native English speakers are terrible at any other languages.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
BINGO!!!

Thanks for the lesson, i feel smarter now

Congradulations to the weiners.

I've been seeing "for all intensive purposes" a lot lately and it drives me up the fucking wall.

feonsay is still correct though

well thanks for your heads up master :)

Allez vous faire foutre!!!!

English spelling is a terrible mess anyway, full of arbitrary contrivances and exceptions that outnumber rules. Why receipt but deceit? Water but daughter? Daughter but laughter? What is the logic behind the ough in through, dough, and cough? Instead of trying to get the letters right with imperfect tools, it would be far better to loosen our idea of correct spelling.

I've seen this recently too

How about all of the idiots who say "I should of known."

Should HAVE, goddamnit. Paul M thinks that of and have are interchangeable.

Should we start calling those people "Pop Retarted!?"

Do not forget... ALLOT - Which means to give an allowance of something.

You shut your mouth! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

HAHA this is one I see all the time too.

Tomorrow's lesson: To, Too, and Two.

I went back TO get my keys and caught her humping the gardner.

I was TOO pissed for words.

She was a TWO-timing whorebag.


Incorrect usage: I wanted one but the price was to much.

I aint understanding none of these stuff. Your a dunb poop idiot.

I ain't mad about nothing, but this something is not making no sense to me

Does forgetting commas make you pop retarted?

You're gonna loose that girl.... ;)

:thumbsup

LOL

Add this saying to the list too

"I could care less"

and the long and short of it is ..................

Just want to point out that I was at the forefront of scolding people, especially Paul Markham, about this!
