teach people that it is lose weight not loose weight

Since one of my other goals is not to be a pedant.

heya i used to have a friend who would discuss anorexia and crap with me. I’m starting to lose weight again and i’m so excited, i was wondering if anyone on here wanted to talk through AIM to be my weightloss friend. love to all.

Hysterical, not histerical. Just thought I would flag that up.

How about accept and except… they are not only spelled differently, they also sound different. What a concept! Revolutionary, I know.
If any of you are also picky about punctuation the way I am:
Eats, Shoots, and Leaves by Lynne Truss is worth reading. HISTERICAL!

What about it’s and its? It’s hopeless! Even good writers mess it up.

I taught one… and I’m not even a native speaker of English, just someone who is losing loose weight (fat, which is loose enough to flab)...and wanting to keep on the firm weight (muscle).

my other pet peeve. You’re cool! Not Your Cool!

I hate to be one of those people who is irked by spelling errors, but I am…especially my own.

I also really hate “Lite” spellings, like those often used in advertisements, corner-store and corporate names.
