 I present a special announcement for those unaware:


lose ( P ) Pronunciation Key (lz)
v. lost, (lôst, lst) los·ing, los·es
v. tr.
To be unsuccessful in retaining possession of; mislay: He's always losing his car keys.

To be deprived of (something one has had): lost her art collection in the fire; lost her job.
To be left alone or desolate because of the death of: lost his wife.
To be unable to keep alive: a doctor who has lost very few patients.
To be unable to keep control or allegiance of: lost his temper at the meeting; is losing supporters by changing his mind.
To fail to win; fail in: lost the game; lost the court case.
To fail to use or take advantage of: Don't lose a chance to improve your position.
To fail to hear, see, or understand: We lost the plane in the fog. I lost her when she started speaking about thermodynamics.

To let (oneself) become unable to find the way.
To remove (oneself), as from everyday reality into a fantasy world.
To rid oneself of: lost five pounds.
To consume aimlessly; waste: lost a week in idle occupations.
To wander from or become ignorant of: lose one's way.

To elude or outdistance: lost their pursuers.
To be outdistanced by: chased the thieves but lost them.
To become slow by (a specified amount of time). Used of a timepiece.
To cause or result in the loss of: Failure to reply to the advertisement lost her the job.
To cause to be destroyed. Usually used in the passive: Both planes were lost in the crash.
To cause to be damned.


loose ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ls)
adj. loos·er, loos·est
Not fastened, restrained, or contained: loose bricks.
Not taut, fixed, or rigid: a loose anchor line; a loose chair leg.
Free from confinement or imprisonment; unfettered: criminals loose in the neighborhood; dogs that are loose on the streets.

Notice that loose and lose are two different words. They are not synonyms as many people seem to believe.

In other words, you cannot "loose" anything.


Rant is concluded.

 I just have a horrible pet peeve when it comes to misspelling.

I am not really this genius or anything, but for some reason I notice every single misspelling in everything I read, and it usually distracts me from the actual content of the reading.

Anal? Maybe.

To be honest, i dont know the difference between affect and effect. To guess, affect would be the act of doing and effect would be the aftermath.

You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

 Let's make this the official grammar thread. Then/than always confuses me.

At first I was unsure, then I realized I was better than you.

Correct?

Now you've killed it. You're trying to get me to explain both Rondavu's and your joke to prove that I did infact get the jokes and then just look like an idiot. So instead, I'm just gonna ban you.
