you LOSE weight until your clothes are LOOSE

Here's a great one from an angry young poster on another thread....

"You don't know me from a whole in the wall!"

I catch any/all misspellings. It's just the kinda woman I am! :thumbup: How much it bothers me depends on my mood, but I really think adults should all know the difference between the "there/their/they're"s.

One thing that I see a lot of is people saying "all the sudden" when it's really "all of a sudden". I don't know, but that one never fails to make me shake my head.

How about this one: you LOSE weight until you clothes are LOOSE.

Seriously, I think that sometimes people are typing quickly and making innocent errors. I did say sometimes.

After being on this forum and two other weight-loss forums, I'm afraid "loose" for "lose" is almost starting to look normal. It's scary.

Another one that makes me nuts is less vs. fewer. "I will consume fewer calories than I did yesterday." "I have less energy than I did yesterday" or - "It took me fewer than 60 minutes; it took me less than an hour."

Gadget - I'm going to have to look this up to clarify. $10 says I say this wrong!! I love learning!

Just a reminder, even though this is RNR, we attack the idea and not the person. If you want to attack each other, please take it to PM.

Susan, I agree with you. We are not here for personal attacks. Period . I am embarrassed that I have been put in this situation. I am unsubscribing from this thread.

Clearly, some people don't understand the written word. Calling someone "fat" on here is unbelievable.

And my 12 year old has just shown me how to change it, d'oh.

Hee. I was just about to post that you could change it until I read this.

Yeah, that's what bugs more than a few innocent typos. That I'll get used to all this bad grammar and spelling.

I'm not worried about the Gen Yers though. My spelling has improved DRAMATICALLY since I started using spell check. Now when I'm without it, I'm much more likely to catch a typo on my own.
