LOOSE is not LOSE.

Oh, the GOOD and WELL thing. I used to mess that one up.

Example:

How are you today?

I am doing well, thank you.

It's not good!!!

An unrelated pet peeve: GUM SMACKERS. I am happy you like your gum, but seriously? Not everyone in zip code needs to hear it, thanks. I have a co-worker that does this, AT WORK. One day I broke down and something to him about it and he said "oh haha yeah my mom and sister don't let me chew gum around them - I've always done that". OK really? Was that not a big sign?

How about "should of" instead of "should have".

Although spoken correctly, 'desert' and 'dessert' are frequently mis-spelled. I remember my Grade 2 teacher saying: you may want 2 Desserts (2 esses), but you would only want to cross the desert (1 ess) once.

I think this every time I see LBT posts in which these words are mis-spelled.

I learned it as dessert has the double s which stands for sweet stuff. =)

And you are all a bunch of Loosers.

Spell check doesn't help. It doesn't check grammar and it normally gives the US spelling of the word, which is fine if you are from the US but if you're from the UK it means that words that are spelt correctly it says are wrong!

e.g. US = program, UK = programme

And "spelt" (spelled). :thumbup:

The gum smacking thing has to be number one on my list. I can not get over how many grown adults chew with their mouth open, food and gum. WTH people? Didn't your mother's teach you better?

Even worse, the gum CRACKERS. Pahleeeeze!

Omg, when we go out with our friends, it's like watching barnyard animals eat -- BOTH of them! :thumbup: I can't even stand it.

i might offend some - but i put gum chewing up w/smoking.

can't stand to be around either. i have no problem w/your "habit" if it touches upon me - ugh, foul.

Don't like gum chewing either, but I am sexist -- I hate it WORSE in men. For some reason it makes me think of a used-car selling gigalo with gold chains, 70's lapels, and chest hair. :thumbup:

Oh, how I can relate to all of these posts!

I have to tell you the two that really grate on my nerves are two that my husband (southern boy from the hills of Tennessee) uses. Here they are:

Tire-I never know if he is talking about an automobile tire or a radio tower.

Pillar-I have to ask are you wanting a pillow or are you talking about one of the pillars on the front porch.

My MIL always says "It don't make no nevermind to me!" WTH!! I think what she is trying to say is "I don't care!"

I have to say his grammer gives a lot to laugh about!

Becky, I live in TN too so I know what you are talking about! My husband calls a tow truck a 'record'. It drives me nuts!!

Here in Aus the word "root" has all sorts of rude connotations which means that I have to be careful what I say.

I cannot use the expression "I'm rooting for you" and you cannot root for your team as the locals would get completely the wrong idea!

I am with you. Mine is someone typing U in an email instead of you. Is it really that much more work to type the additional two letters?

I agree. There is one poster, in particular, that practically writes in code. r u listening? Lots of unnecessary punctuation!!!!!!!!!!!!lol!!!!!!!! Very difficult to read. But then again her posts don't offer much worth reading.
