Foofy 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Here's a great one from an angry young poster on another thread.... "You don't know me from a whole in the wall!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legster 2 Posted August 16, 2008 I catch any/all misspellings. It's just the kinda woman I am! :thumbup: How much it bothers me depends on my mood, but I really think adults should all know the difference between the "there/their/they're"s. One thing that I see a lot of is people saying "all the sudden" when it's really "all of a sudden". I don't know, but that one never fails to make me shake my head.

aprilapple 1 Posted August 16, 2008 How about this one: you LOSE weight until you clothes are LOOSE. Seriously, I think that sometimes people are typing quickly and making innocent errors. I did say sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImGonnaLose 0 Posted August 17, 2008 After being on this forum and two other weight-loss forums, I'm afraid "loose" for "lose" is almost starting to look normal. It's scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gadgetlady 4 Posted August 17, 2008 Another one that makes me nuts is less vs. fewer. "I will consume fewer calories than I did yesterday." "I have less energy than I did yesterday" or - "It took me fewer than 60 minutes; it took me less than an hour." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gracey 7 Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) Gadget - I'm going to have to look this up to clarify. $10 says I say this wrong!! I love learning! Edited August 18, 2008 by SickNTired Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*susan* 1,709 Posted August 17, 2008 Just a reminder, even though this is RNR, we attack the idea and not the person. If you want to attack each other, please take it to PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are not here for personal attacks. Period . I am embarrassed that I have been put in this situation. I am unsubscribing from this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly, some people don't understand the written word. Calling someone "fat" on here is unbelievable. Edited August 18, 2008 by SickNTired Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacMadame 81 Posted August 18, 2008 And my 12 year old has just shown me how to change it, d'oh. Hee. I was just about to post that you could change it until I read this. After being on this forum and two other weight-loss forums, I'm afraid "loose" for "lose" is almost starting to look normal. It's scary. Yeah, that's what bugs more than a few innocent typos. That I'll get used to all this bad grammar and spelling. I'm not worried about the Gen Yers though. My spelling has improved DRAMATICALLY since I started using spell check. Now when I'm without it, I'm much more likely to catch a typo on my own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
