The grammar nazi thread

[Better Loosen Up]

These seem to be happening more and more often.

For one in particular, it comes up with astounding regularity and consistency.

Lose and loose!

So to clear things up.

Some people wear loose fitting pants

You can win or lose a bet

Your team can be losing

But loosing is not a word!












I feel better now! Thanks

Actually in this case it’s a grammar-Nazi thread.

The hyphen to designate the compound adjective is important, otherwise it could be like, a Nazi thread about grammar.

But now that you have seen my point, these particular errors are going to start to jump out at you...

His instead of he's. I had no idea that this was something people could get wrong but, clearly, I've underestimated the stupidity of society.
