Yeah, I’m thinking that taking advice from a loser is not a good idea.

Who is her loser? We have King Obama for a second term. Would Romney been worst than King Obama. Looks like to me that your opinion of the loser is miss guided.

Did you try running those sentences through a semantic analysis program? Yeesh.

  1. "Who is her loser?" - Who is this "her" to whom you are referring?

  2. "Would Romney been worst than King Obama."

    First, you are comparing two things, Romney and Obama, you cannot use "worst", because that is a superlative adjective, to be used for comparing multiple items. The adjective to use is "worse", not "worst". Worse is a comparative. Use it when comparing two things, just like "better" only in the negative instead of the positive. This means when comparing two things, one will always be “worse” and not “worst” than the other.

  3. Next, "Would Romney been worst". That makes no sense. The proper grammar in this instance is the present perfect tense. The present perfect tense is used for repetitive or constant actions that began in the past and continue to the present. So, to properly ask the question, you would need to use the present perfect tense of the verb "be", which would be, of course, "have been".
  4. Finally, you end a question with a period. Questions should properly be ended with, naturally, a question mark.

    Therefore, let's repair your sentence, shall we?

    Would Romney have been worse than King Obama?
  5. "Looks like to me that your opinion of the loser is miss guided."

    "Looks like to me that"...[shudder]...let us just rephrase that..."Looks to me like" - and leave it at that.

  6. "...your opinion of the loser is miss guided" - who is miss guided? Is she the "her" to whom you were referring in your first sentence? Oh! You meant the word "misguided". Nevermind...

    Perhaps I can take a stab at fixing this sentence:

    "Looks to me like your opinion of the loser is misguided."
