thuey: See also:

Lose, not loose.

I'm not even sure why this is a mistake
avatar
Lifthrasil: Because it has different meaning. To lose is a verb, meaning you don't have something anymore afterwards. But if something is loose, it isn't necessary lost (yet), only not tight. But of course it is possible to lose something that's too loose.
I think he (or she) might have meant they're not sure how people can make that mistake. Or maybe not. :)

Also, by extension, "loser" is often misspelled "looser", which can be entertaining in the right context. XD

Yes, but where are the dancing girls? Moulin anyone?

A couple of additional examples of linguistic lunkheadedness:

"Alot" instead of "a lot"

and

"A whole nother" as opposed to NOT SOUNDING LIKE A MORON.

You're a girl. You can dance. If I do the dancing, I still wouldn't be a dancing girl. (more like a dancing earthquake :-D )
Oh, and please be sure to film your dancing and share it here! :-)

I run a wood fired pizza van with my partner and we get at least one person a day walking past and commenting or asking us about "Wood fried pizzas".

I have no idea why so many people make that mistake...

So it seems that the days of building "turrents" and reading "tombs of knowledge" are finally over? I have not seen these two atrocities in a long time.

Regarding "Baldur's Gate": I have to admit that I wrote it as "Bladder's Gate" quite a few times. Quite a shameful mistake.

I don't think I'd want to play Bladder's Gate.

Shameful, but hilarious. =)

justanoldgamer: God knows I'm not perfect and my first language is not English so I make my share of spelling (barrister instead of barista recently) and grammar mistakes even when I know better, but I was just reading a thread here and it seems that some people do not care. Why would anyone consistently use ROUGE instead of ROGUE when it is spelled correctly by almost everyone in the thread?

In the same spirit:
The head of a school is a PRINCIPAL not a PRINCIPLE.
The male first name ARTHUR is not spelled AUTHOR.

Please add your spelling pet peeves and be free to correct any errors in my posts.

Desjay: Ever notice that most "Rouges" like to "Duel" wield, when they "dual"?

IMO, if you can't SPELL your class, you shouldn't be allowed to PLAY that class.
That's why I choose to be a theif instead...

Seriously though its best just to assume there is a reason because it happens, alot.

Me too ;-) But since I already have one unhouse-trained pet, it might not be a good idea if they can't be trained.

Yeah, that's what i meant.

I see "loose" when the person meant "lose" all the time, and I really never understood how that could occur. If they're not native-English speakers, then that's fine. But it seems to be a common English-as-first-language mistake too.

When I see something like "He's such a looser", it makes me want to say, "He's a looser what?" But I usually don't stress too much about things like this anymore. At least, not on the Internet. [sigh] What can you do?
