Pugwash Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 What's that TV show with the island and the plane crash? Is it LOOST? Please, everyone, spelling helps the search engine. Anyone searching for a "loose bezel" finds posts about missing parts. lose |luːz| verb ( past and past part. lost |lɒst|) [ trans. ] 1 be deprived of or cease to have or retain (something) : I've lost my appetite | Linda was very upset about losing her job | the company may find itself losing customers to cheaper rivals. loose |luːs| adjective 1 not firmly or tightly fixed in place : a loose tooth | the truck's trailer came loose. This has been a public rant. Ignore it as you wish. Next week: it's vs its. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plural of IWC is IWCs, not IWC's; Plural of PAM is PAMs, not PAM's. The 70s was a decade; 70's means something belonging to 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jfreeman420 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 There is always spell check. Very simple to use I must say. I am one of those sticklers for spelling and pronunciation. My g/f is just short of a masters degree and can't spell for [censored]. The owner of the company I work for dropped out of high school in 9th grade is just about illiterate. Great spelling is not indicative of one's character. Many of the members here speak english as a second language. Give them a break. Take a xanax and go back to measuring the distance between tics on your replica sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a xanax and go back to measuring the distance between tics on your replica sub. Well, thank you for showing such support. Spelling is important because we have many people here whose second language is English. Dyslexia isn't on the increase, but a lot more people than before claim to be dyslexic. Do the maths. LOSE/LOOSE is by far the most prevalent misspelling on the internet, and anything we can do to help our non-Anglophone readers to type as far away as possible from the style of a 14-year old lazy cheerleader, the better. It's nearly doobie-break time where you are now, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Hey Pugs...wossup....I miss our cosy lil' fireside chats on Skype.........wot 'appned...your Ipod headphones pack up......or does her ladyship have you on a short leash nowadays.... My 24" monitor disappeared in my house move, so until I get a job, I won't have a fixed workstation in the loft as planned, so I've been on a laptop since. This makes sitting down for a long chat quite difficult as there's always something to do around the house. I'll be on Skype soon enough though, don't you worry.

Pugwash Posted July 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 "I think you do not know what that means" "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." An apt phrase for this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just spell it correctly and you haven’t lost anything, what have you got to lose? No point in being loose with your typing skills is there? Although there’s no point getting angry and losing the plot over such a small word, loosen up a bit Pug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like scammers or misleading dealers. For all those that think I should lighten up, I think you overestimate my investment in this argument. "Have fun storming the castle!"
