Remember when people use to mix up "lose" and "loose"?

[Roon]

The last couple of months it's been "too" and "to". It's amazing how misspellings can spread through the internet.

8. I saw that in SpongeBob credits the other night

No, I don't usually peruse the credits of the shows my son watches! :rofl: I just happened to glance at the TV and saw the credit for a "song" that was in the show--"Your Old". Sigh.

2. What you mean "used to"?

My faves are:
they're, their, there
lightEning
and I got on in an email that used weather instead of whether.

3. I doo that all the time tooo...

I chalk it up to my fingers being quicker than my brain...or something.

4. Looks like you might have started another

5. They have never stopped making that mistake.

The problem with lose/loose, too/to is that it gives the offender a chance to say it was "a typo."

It's hard to rain down internet shame on those liars.

Then there's abominations like "intensive purposes" or (a recent addition) "High Pathetically."

There's no wiggle room with those. :spank:

7. I was only corrected on 'intents and purposes' about a year ago

Duuuh me :dunce:


and to further add to my embarrassment, I learned that you do not pronounce 'pseudo' as sway-do while on a business conference call. Ouch.

9. My first utterance of "Chutzpah"

didn't go so well either.


:blush:

6. now it's "use to" and "used to"

10. They are still confused by their, there and they're. n/t

[noonwitch]

12. There's the people who mix up "use" and "used".
