"If you know wat they mean by it .why make it an issue none of us are perfect " Because words convey meaning and there is a difference of understanding between reading I want to lose my trousers and I want to loose my trousers.( even though I used bad grammar to make the point ) I'm with you on not mentioning it if the meaning is clear and unless someone is asking for clarity they shouldn't mention it in here at all. | |||

"Yes I know, some people struggle with spelling, I'm sorry if that's you. However, there are several that get to me, the main one being 'loosing' instead of 'losing' What ones really get to you?" Unfortunately, a profile littered with spelling and grammar errors makes people appear less intelligent. It also seems a bit lazy, there are loads of tools available to check the spelling and grammar in any text. Some of the most irritating are things such at "wat" & "wen", which are amongst the first words that are taught at primary school. Anita will instantly discount any profile that contains more than a couple of typos. Cal | |||

Despite being a bit archaic, "loosing" IS actually a real word, it used to be used to mean releasing or setting free, it was often used in relation to "attack" such as "loosing the hounds", or "loosing a barrage of arrows".

"I don't find them annoying because I know that English is not everyone's first language. Some people can spell well but have shit attitudes, a good personality is what I find more attractive than good spelling or grammar. " To be fair, people whose first language isn't English, often have better spelling because they "need" to put the effort into getting it right. Phrasing usually gives away when English isn't someone's first language, but that isn't a problem. I also get slightly annoyed by people using "dyslexia" as an excuse for poor spelling and grammar. The mistakes that are indicative of dyslexia are completely different to using "there, their, and they're" incorrectly or writing "wat" instead of "what". Cal | |||

"If you know wat they mean by it .why make it an issue none of us are perfect None of us IS perfect. Perhaps a linguistic note of pedantry here, but 'are' flows better. Language evolves, but 'text' speak, especially the superfluous 'lol' at the end of each sentence, has me reaching for the red pen. Lol" ROFL! | |||

"Turnt. As in 'I turnt and said....' When pupils used to recount "So she turns round and goes (meaning said)..." I used to pirouette through 360 degrees and say "Do you mean,like that?" Yes, like that. I've seen adults write it like that too "I turnt around and I saw..." I've had discussions about how it isn't a word. Teenagers esp like to tell me I'm wrong! | |||

And how about “and I was like …” instead of “I said”. Eg. “And I was like “no way”, and she was like “whatever”” | |||
