It's LOSE damn it, not LOOSE.

There, I had to say it. It's been driving be BONKERS all day.

You lose your keys.

You lose a bet.

You lose weight so your clothes have a more loose fit.

You have a screw loose and are a bit of a loser.

You ask a strong man to loosen a tight jar, but lose track of time watching his muscles.

AAAHHHHHHH!!! Get it straight, people.

Here's a not-so-friendly comic on the subject (f-bombs):

If I may add to this rant...

Your is possesive.

Your dog.

You're is a contraction. It's short for 'you are.'

You're weird.

STOP MIXING THEM UP!!!!!!!!!!

I think we need a whole topic on our grammar/word choice pet peeves. Most people cringe at the canon vs. cannon issue!

I have a big enough problem with inadvertant grammar and spelling mistakes, but the thing that really drives me crazy is leet speak (I think we had this discussion already a while back). Is it really worth looking like a twelve year old to save the .874 seconds you do by typing "ur" instead of "your" or "gr8" instead of "great". Gah! It makes me crazy!
