It's LOSE, not LOOSE!!!

[simplechamp]

If I see someone type "loose" one more time I am going to LOSE it, just completely snap. I know this is the web, and I kn0w ppl tipe liek th1s, zomg!!!1!1!! but for some reason "loose" really gets on my nerves more than anything else. I don't know why, but every time I see it I feel a little part of me die. The worst is when I see people with totally great spelling and grammar use it. I'm starting to think people actually believe that's the correct spelling.

So, what about everyone else? What are your pet peeves on the forums/web?

As an English major, and a grammar freak, I'm totally with you. The one that bothers me the most is when people mistake "your" and "you're". If you're not sure, just say the whole thing rather than the contraction. Its not "your stupid." Its "you are stupid." Hence, "you're."

Actually, I had a little funny list of grammar rules in my sig here once, and I got jumped on by everyone. They said they felt offended and whatnot. Sorry, it's not my fault you can't understand elementary English rules, and its definitely not my fault that you feel the need to put down everyone who does.

darn thanks... and quote. Clicked the wrong button to post.

What was your sig line? if you dont mind me asking?

Spelling bothers me. Punctuation, not so much. ( i use it randomly, and only in certain words and such things) Granted i type very quickly and i do not look, so sometimes i might mess up here or there, and sometimes my brain just does not work! i try to go back and correct the error if i spot it though.

Did you intend on spelling that correctly and using the correct form of it? Because you did. -lol-
