Sorry guys but I am about to blow my gasket and I have to rant somewhere. You're trying to LOSE weight. Or fat. Or clothing sizes. You're not LOOSING it. To where are you loosing it? On what?

I am loosing my weight, turning it into entropy as it burns and letting it loose on the world!

If I may jump on this bandwagon, I would like to point out that you WEIGH yourself but you lose WEIGHT. Alternatively, you may WEIGHT yourself down with an object of your choosing or you may lose WHEY (but only if you spell it like that).

 

Thank you for this opportunity to briefly let my editor brain LOOSE so that I no longer LOSE sleep over the misuse of lose and loose and weigh and weight ;) (seewhatIdidthere??)

Thank you. Incorrect spelling and usage make me crazy. Crazy. I read somewhere that people who are psycho about spelling and grammar are terrible writers, and it made me angry. Why can't I be particular about the mechanics of writing AND great at the craft in general? Come on now.

LOL. I was on a mailing list for this writer who hosts a flash fiction challenge. One day he sends an E-mail and within it he says "I hope this peaks your interest". I politely suggested that he may have meant piqued and I have not received another flash fiction invite since.

I hate you.

This is factually inaccurate.

I kinda want to use what I said above in my next challenge title just to screw with you.

youse guys...

 

I would so love to loose my pants

I AM going the distance

 

'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

Man, weight loss would be so much easier if you could loose it! Though I guess all of your unwanted pounds would still follow you around and just be extra jiggly because loosening things doesn't mean they're detached. (Maybe if you jumped up and down a lot they'd fall off?)

Oh my, suddenly I'm scared to type anything :D I'm from Finland and my native language is Finnish. I've studied English 9 years, but I still struggle with grammar every now and then. Nevertheless, I do get upset when people mess your, you're, there, their etc: even foreign English students get frustrated with terrible grammar!

 

And how about then vs. than? There are no words to describe my agony when people use than instead of then and vice versa.

I'm sure in 9 years you've learned more THAN a lot of the kids here in the states.

 

Then/Than really frustrates me as well.

Hrm. I find losing the loose parts quite hard ...

And yes, spelling matters!

I have chosen to believe in myself.
