Lose vs. Loose

• chelsea_b Posted : 6/20/2007 5:52:37 PM But I do believe then that you're wandering about, wondering.   Good call!   I tend to use a lot of commas as well, and I also use ... a really lot.

• the_gopher Posted : 6/20/2007 5:53:46 PM ORIGINAL: Xeph Of course, I'm a bit comma happy.  Ever since some blasted teacher said "Think of a comma like you're taking a breath!  Commas are the breath of speech!" I insert a comma every freakin' place where I'd be taking a breath in real life!  I can't help it!  That damn teacher didn't TEACH me anything!  He just ruined me for commas!! I also use ... a lot to indicate halts in my thought processes, or when I'm using innuendo or flirting in RP, i.e. "I'm pleased that one finds me so....intriguing." *insert wink here* Oh my!  I had a teacher tell me nearly the same thing about comma's.  Man have I paid for that once I hit college and I was told I was too comma happy for my own good!  I also use...far too much.  But, I like the effect it has.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chelsea_b Posted : 6/20/2007 5:59:52 PM I'm not sure how these can get so sooooo screwed up, but they do: know, no, now where, were, we're   Those words misused especially drive me nuts. I was talking to some idiot online once, and he actually typed "I no were your comming from."

• the_gopher Posted : 6/20/2007 6:23:56 PM chelsea_b, that's horrible!  Mistakes like that would make me slap my forehead and groan, and I'm not much of a grammer nut or spelling fanatic.   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• lorib Posted : 6/20/2007 7:24:58 PM Let's not forget "weary" vs. "wary". Weary is a synonym for TIRED, i.e. "He was weary after a long day's work." Wary is to be careful about something that might be an issue, i.e. "He was wary of the horse's hind legs kicking madly." 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
