Can everybody just please stop doing it.

If you ‘lose’ something, it’s been dropped or thieved.

If you ‘loose’ something, you set it free…..

I’m not a grammar nazi, but we have to sort this out……

Your right

I’m not a grammar nazi, but

*narrows eyes*

What does loosing mean?

Something you might have lost. Or not.

Rediculous.

Q: How can you tell if your a grammar-nazi?

I blame autocorrect on phones.

Swype, in particular seems particularly bad at deliberately putting in the wrong words. Sometimes I just can’t be bothered to correct it yet again.

I do wonder if the Russians have been somehow poisoning the autocorrect self-learning databases.

Thieved! You mean stolen.

In other news, even though some people are moar betterer at grammar and stuff, the world still turns…..

we have to sort this out

Defiantly

I’m confused. I’m loosing the plot to live.

I know, I know……good bit of punnage!

Honest…. I blame Jeremy Kyle. And McDonald’s. And grey joggers with mild piss stains.

But stop.

Discusting.

Thieved! You mean stolen.

I think you mean robbed.

The one that really grates on me is people typing messages in their ‘local dialect’. There’s a couple of Facebook mountain biking groups that I follow where everyone on it seems to be characters straight out of ‘The Broon’s or Oor Wullie’, judging by the messages they type.

“Ach, hoots mon! Thae Minion tyres get fair mucket in the dreich weather”

That’s not how I was taught to read or write in school, and I’m from Bonnybridge. Write it out properly, and if you can’t spell it, google it!

Thieved! You mean stolen.

Thieved is a perfectly good past tense version of thieve.

Sorry, I like discussing bike related topics such as peddles and breaks.

Sometimes I actually congratulate people on facebook when they spell chest of draws correctly.
And when people say on route, it’s en route, it’s French you moron, but some of these people are good friends so I keep it to myself most of the time.

Write it out properly,

We’ll well, if it isn’t Mr Autocorrect.

As an aside do you ever feel like at work you’re the only one there with a modicum of intelligence. I try to engage my work collegaues about current affairs and get one word answers and then turn back to their screens. I have to come on here for intelligent debate it’s that bad.

One fine day in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other

And what’s with using “and” rather than “an” in front of a noun that starts with a vowel? – “I ate and apple”

Hud yir wheesht ya fud.

It’s “haud yer wheesht” surely?

I can never understand why the word phonetics isn’t spelt fonetics.

The one that makes me laugh is when folk say ‘pacific’ when they mean ‘specific’

“Mills loosing” common around Bradford in the 50s/60s. Means shift workers pouring out of the mills.

Thieved is a perfectly good past tense version of thieve.
