Screwn! LOL! My new favorite word!

It never ceases to amaze me how many people on the internet can't spell the word "lose". They all spell it "loose".Cry havoc, and lose the dogs of war!
My favorite is the saying..."Poker players who play loose, will lose lots of money".
To: Cincinatus' Wife
This article only goes to reinforce the stereotype that those employed in the public sector are lacking.

Hey, since we're in the mood, come over to this thread and help me pick apart this guy's writing. He thinks he's writing a really deep, suicidal opus and if we just criticize his grammar and lack of punctuation it'll really steam up his glasses :-)I just helped your cause over there. It was fun. I cringe when I see obvious bad spelling and grammar.

Found it on another thread and just had to share. From a so-called IT grad, but it might have been a FReeper having fun, I couldn't tell.

I hope you noticed the "pouring over" as well, that's a common error that irritates me no end.

My favorite is the saying..."Poker players who play loose, will lose lots of money".BTW, I invented this expression as a teaching aid to those on the gambling message boards who can't spell a simple word like "lose". What LOSERS! ... /rant off
