loose vs lose
 

is this a new net slang thing I'm not aware of?

I notice this a lot here


let loose the ties that bind us. did I just lose my lighter again? I certainly did not set it loose, it can't walk. think I left it my friend's car so loost :upsidedow


not spelling police, just curious

No, stupid fuckers are nothing new here.

:1orglaugh

I think it's more decades of a slow burn into lack of illiteracy, then when you call it out someone says you're a nerd while they post from their shitty Hyundai Elantra on their cracked iphone.

I think you meant 'slow burn into a lack of literacy' but I'll forgive you cuz I forgot a word in my OP. missed an 'in'

plus making your suno track was fun though way too screamy

I'm loosing the plot here :upsidedow

word nerds unite (me in an empty room, BM and Mech come par with me)

loose refers to something not being tight or fixed, lose involves misplacing something

thank you.

Did this really take this long for people to figure this out...


:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap

Loose - meaning she sleeps around or her ropes are coming off
Lose - is when the escort debits your card for $35,000 instead of $350 for the half hour.

^you're boring and a culprit of exactly what I am talking about


can you please tell the internet that? before I loose my mind spell checking threads I read :upsidedow

this thread was helpful tho, gracias. so not some new webspeak. just idiots

I'm laughing, this was fun. have a wicked day y'all

This has been a stone in my shoe for quite some time now! I always explain it this way to the young and/or illiterate:

Win or LOSE your mom's pussy is still LOOSE.

Get it? Got it? Good! :)

^BM he's insulting yo momma

I am at a loss. Should I loosen my pants or lose some weight?

Whatever you do don't get all loosey-goosey eating a sandwich

Exactly this.

If anyone's feeling brave they could try explaining when to use "it's" with an apostrophe and when to use "its" without one.

it's annoying to me when people misspell 'lose'

a contraction of 'it is', or a possessive as in belonging to someone or something


the baby goat that eats my carrots is adorable. its tail wagging makes me laugh

its is used mostly used for non living or gender non-specific stuff in place of his, her, their


all this stuff really doesn't annoy me. just baffling how first-lang english speakers can't master 3 and 4 letter words

I honestly thought the whole loose vs lose thing might just be an internet trend or something, it occurs so frequently :1orglaugh

I'm lost . . .

Yea good catch, proves I'm quite illiterate myself hahah! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That was indeed a fun listen, I was messing around with the site more trying to come up with funky djent songs.

At this point, I've embraced some aspects of Idiocracy and let spell-check & autocorrect handle most of it. It's kept me out of trouble with the spelling police. Especially on mobile. Typing on a glass screen without spell-check and autocorrect training wheels seems impossible for me.

I dont know. You lost me

:thumbsup

I didn't think you'd notice :)

Mark used it's correctly. it is (it's) something over which he has control

possessive nouns can often refer to inanimate stuff in one's possession

it's/its is way more complicated than loose/lose. those latter two words are pronounced differently, y'all who do this know this

but Mark isn't incorrect

It is "it kept me from" . . . Mark was just being a playful kang.

'it' would be past tense. 'it's' signifies the possessive in something ongoing

"It's keeping me out of trouble with the spelling police." then . . .

yes

still correct. he was referring to a 'thing' that is keeping him out of trouble with the spelling police

he's correct

I wouldn't wish ESL on anyone as it's third place to Mandarin and Cantonese, but come on

I really don't care about any of this, now that I know what's up with that extra 'o'

funny though

and again, KM not incorrect

in the context of the sentence an ongoing thing, not past tense

I'm really not the spelling police, just wondered about why all of a sudden ery'one uses an extra vowel

probs all the offenders on auto correct and they're like, whelp got an L and a O and as S and a E in it. the extra O makes it cooler

you're discussing this with a person with a dislike for capital letters and does weird framing of paragraphs

I'll be the first one they come for

I always forget not to fight a woman in love . . .

in love with you both, if thou hath forsaken me, please let me know =p


but KM is correct either way


I'm meeting my not-bf's (my choice) mom tomorrow. will be super nervous as moms are not in the same category as the rest of us. have met her daughters/nephews/nieces and good reviews apparently. likewise, I like his people. just want a relationship right now

tomorrow we'll be talking and no one will give a fuck about apostrophes in Patois or english

looking forward to spending time with her cuz she probs has a lot tell me about her 75 years in JA

already nervous. confident it will go fine and be fun though

Your and You're is another.

that one is easy compared to navigating the morass of it's vs its. a common error but not nearly as ubiquitous as the loose vs lose thing

if that's not a trend then means autocomplete on phones is fucking with us. probably how skynet started


your weed is too strong. makes me fuck up my spelling or drop pertinent words like 'don't' in my previous post. then I get lost in a wicked track and kitten scritching and by the time I've noticed my error the edit window has passed

your means belonging to someone. a possessive


you're gonna pick me up at 2pm sunday?

you're is a contraction of you are


will try not to loose my lighter in his car :upsidedow

I think he needed to drop the apostrophe....no matter. I do like the word you used, morass:) had to look that one up!

It's odd indeed . . . but who are we, natural born oddballs, to judge ? ?

Loose cock upstairs
Lose cock downstairs
