Zorro Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I don't know how many times i have seen it on this board but how many people actually know the difference between lose and loose? The other one that bugs me is their , there and they're.... Are there any others that posters get constantly wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Zorro, Yeah, 'prize and price', also Old Hippie's 'passed and past' that Suadum mentioned in another thread the other day. Hell, we all make mistakes though. Sometimes just rushing along writing a post and not paying much attention, nor spell-checking. Plus everyone here isn't a native English speaker as well. Some can be amusing to see as well. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaad Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 You? Never noticed that mistake in your posts, was mentioning another poster... I'm sure I have some of my own as well but won't know unless someone notifies me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Sayjann buddy, Just to help you differentiate the two: then refers to time, such as: "I went to Singapore, then I went to Bangkok." than refers to people, things, and objects, and choices, such as: "Then I went to Bangkok to fuck Noi. I'd rather fuck her than Lek." or "Lek is prettier than Noi though, so maybe I'll fuck her first, then I'll go fuck Noi as well." Easy enough, 'eh? End of lesson. Just remember choice vs time.

Khun_Kong Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Too that I to frequently see confused two express a point are: "It is my opinion that..." and "It is a fact that..." ******************************************** Seriously, though- "I could care less" being mistakenly used for "I couldn't care less" ******************************************** In speech- "Jew-ler-y" rather then "jewel-ry" And my all time favorite used by GassWholeBush... Instead of "nuclear", the fucking guy says "New-cu-lar" Anybody who cannot say that word correctly should not have access to weapons employing that technology! ******************************************** Buy the weigh, nun of thes bathers me in reelialty. Except for Bush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
