Lose, loss, losing, and loose

There, their, they’re - I’ve learnt to turn a blind eye. Irritating yes, but there are bigger things to worry about.

It seemed to start a couple of years ago. It’s spread like a plague. It makes no sense to me.

There, their and they’re seems to be especially difficult as well. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m a horrible speller and apparently so is my auto correct :smile: and grammer, what’s that? Lol. I am highly educated with several degrees however I had spell check and a grammar program to help me with papers!

And “key tones” could be a good name for Carl’s band.

One that’s very common on emails is defiantly instead of definitely.

Me, too!

I’ve been meaning to axe you all about that…

One grammar usage has annoyed me for decades. It’s the use of the noun “Disrespect” as a verb. You can show disrespect towards a person, you cannot disrespect someone.

That one is likely cultural. How about, “Drive safe”?
And I use far too many commas , , , ,
So we all have our struggles.:grinning:

Off to loose some weight.

That one always annoys me :joy:

Another one that cracks me up…

I’m a municipal building inspector in Eastern Tennessee. Naturally I hear the the word “joist” a lot (as in a floor joist or ceiling joist). But around here a lot of people say “Joyce” instead of “joist.”

So people will ask, “hey man, what I gotta do when I gotta cut a hole in my Joyce?”

And I’m like, “well that’s called murder, so…” :rofl:

Let us support each other and if we want a grammar or spelling police start a new website. This site is supposed to be about support, sharing and helping each other through Keto. Please do not alienate people by being the English language police, we-need each other no matter how we get our point across.

This should help. :wink:

Commas save lives!

So is funny.
