"Lose" is not spelled "Loose"

[RickyG]

Gang some of us are doing the best we can. I have a pretty viscous case of dyslexia. I will cut and paste most things into MS Word for some help...and if my wife is around (pro writer look up Betsy Schwarm on Amazon) she understands. There is such a thing as "Multiple Inteligence" where everyone shines at something such space awareness, kinesthetic, (as in my love and skill in skiing, skateboarding, bikes, and motorsports) not everyone is a card carrying member of the "grammar patrol". Oh by the way I've managed my learning disabilities to the point I'm a full Professor at Community College of Denver as Chair of Engineering Graphics (CAD), I spend more of each day in class convinsing student they are OK, most that I get have been damaged by the classic "reading, writing" system that they think their only fit for a fast food or labor job. Finding out that setting behind a powerful computer using 2d and 3D software to design tommorows world is very satisfying.

I'm out on a uncomfortable limb right now I'm on my iPad at lunch...no back up. Be kind?

Is that a typo or part of the joke?

Sadly, that was a typo. I'll have to adapt the joke to better utilize the malapropism.

Thank you for going out on this limb. I admit to being one of those grammar patrol people but it is a good reminder that there are very intelligent people who may not be good at grammar and spelling.

Come on people!
Really?

depends on the context - are we talking clothing or not winning?

Strange, I don't have any difficulty when I hear the two.

Maybe it's a problem with putting it in writing.

Or maybe it's just you. ;-)

Well I just hope the Broncos don't loose to the Chargers.
I would loose it.

This morning's Boston Globe has a story about an advertising campaign on public transport encouraging chronically absent students to return to school. You guessed it, the ads have spelling errors! The story reproduced a tweet from an early complainer with the hashtag #copyeditisdead. Of course, given that it is the Globe, I'm thinking "pot, meet kettle."

The NY times was reducing the copy editors from 100 to 50 or 55. Not sure where it stands now.
This is a continuing trend to have reporters do everything. Eliminating editors will just end in .... covfefe.

I find it pretty disappointing that the worst, er um worse.. spelling, grammar, and punctuation I see anywhere on the internet is on the COLLEGE football fan pages. It makes me really wonder what percentage of these people actually got admitted to the schools they are claiming alligiance to... much less how many actually graduated after that.

Sooner then that if you live in Colorado Springs! In which case I think it's safe to say "Lose" is spelled "Loose"

Edit: lets keep that content in one spot, unlike the subject of the article.

Brilliant edit!

When I'm speaking I can imagine a more articulate person thinking this...

They should have written, "You have turned you're backs on us."

Just came across this as a comment to a news story. This is not to discuss the politics of the statement, just the grammar:

poap francis says climet change is the gratest sin ever but the bibel says climet change isnt even real
will christian's ever make up theyre mine's​

There is so much open for discussion about grammar and spelling, I just shake my head and keep walking.

You say it's gram-mahr

I say it's the will of the gods... ;-)

 

[SKI-3PO]

There is a spelling epidemic going on up in the CATSKILLS...

Opps!
