LOOSE vs LOSE, sorry, spelling primer

Sorry, I know, I know. I just see this EVERY TIME I am on this site.

To lose something, is to not know where it is.ex. "Don't LOSE your milk money"

You can loose something (kinda olde english but oh well) but that just means to set it free, you may still know where it is, but it is still pronounced "loose" like "My pants are too loose".

You don't loose a gallon of wort during bear absorption in your primary.(before the gnomes come)

You lose it.

Haha- you sound like Yuri now.

I'm not really a grammar nazi, but the one that gets me is "your". Your, you're, and worse, ur, are NOT interchangeable.

I'm now an old lady (grandma and all), but the other thing I can't get is textspeak. If you can't even spend the time to type out "you", and use punctuation, I can't spend the time formulating an answer to your (youre, ur) question.

I really hope that the bolded word above was a joke since you took the time to "correct" everybody's spelling/grammar on this site.

LOOK AT THIShttps://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/apparently-i-have-evil-gnomes-stealing-bear-out-my-primary-187905/

sorry for the inside joke Matt, but you should check this thread out. EPIC.

And if you know of spontaneous beer absorption in primary without a bear to absorb it, that is new to me.

The thing that really gets my goat, and I see it all the time, is the improper use of the progressive tense.

It's not "I am wanting", it's "I want", damn it!

If this is the grammar complaint thread, how about if everyone stops using 's to pluralize words?

What loosers.

Hehe, I'm guessing this thread reminded you of that.

Yup, I've heard he's loose too. (Never heard it said in a stereotypical chinese accent before though.)

I'm far from a grammar Nazi too, but i have to admit, the lose/loose thing really bugs me.

Loose in place of lose is rediculous.

alot of you need to relacks. ged's are hard to get.

Your all crazy.

I love this thread. Love, love, love, love, love.

You guy's, well, your all just the be'st!


....at 'stuff.

One that has started to bug me recently is the use of "I'm a" or "I'm on a" when meaning to say "I'm going to".

example: I'm a go to the LHBS to get some yeast.
example: I'm on a try that out.

I have seen this two or three times on this forum in the last couple of weeks.

Misuse of the word "too" (people often just use "to") bugs me a little bit, too.

And what, 'gonna' is not a real word?

Lotta word nazis here, so the fun is enhanced.

Oh my god!!!! I just did a spit take with my coffee! Is there anything more hilarious than a misspelling in a grammar-correction post?!?!?

Hey Mr. Henry Hill!! Ive a missed 'ya!

It's only local dialect, (I'm a guessin') but I hate the way people around here miss out whole sets of words. ie, "That porch needs to be painted" becomes "That porch needs painted"

I have no real right to rag on it, but when that last quote is a direct example of the type of English used the local newspaper, it makes my blood boil. Hell, newspapers should speak English like what it should be spoke.
