i am trying to spamwhore myself for this month, so i haven't been the best with punctuation or grammar
another thing that gets me is your and you're. if you are unsure, just use "ur." maybe it's not correct, but it's a lot better than "your." btw, i had someone tell me "your redicules." also, there, they're, and their

The best one is when somebody says 'your retarded' haha. It's like they've punched themselves in the face.
I've also seen a few people complain about somebody else’s grammar and spelt it grammer. Idiots.
This tread is full of loosers.

.Yes, proper grammar is important, but it's not that big of a deal. But sometimes improper grammar could get you put on the Sex Offenders' Register: "Let's eat out children" Vs Let's eat out, children
.Panda eats shoots and leaves vs Panda eats, shoots and leaves
Cum on grandma.

It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye
I admit I make this mistake all the time. It is very simple to understand, and it goes back to the way the words are pronounced. The difference in pronunciation is only the ending, the 's' sound vs the 'z' sound. Both words start with the 'loo' sound, so it makes sens to try to spell it 'looze', obviously that looks wrong so you change the z to an s, and you end up with 'loose' instead of 'lose', which looks like it should be pronounced like 'those' or 'hose', just don't pronounce it like 'dose' because that has the wrong vowel AND the wrong consonant.
The underlying problem is the loose correlation between spelling and pronunciation which causes words to lose their logical spelling.
Now will somebody explain why pint does not rhyme with tint, lint, mint, squint and hint, or have the same vowel sound as pin, in, spin, tin, win, bin or sin?

I'm kind of surprised how outnumbered we seem to be by the UK English crowd. It was bad enough that I had to learn to convert feet to meters in my head... now I have to learn to convert meters to metres. 
All non native english speakers study UK English at school.
That's why there are more UK English speakers than US English ones.

Hey! I had mine tightened last week, FYI.
It's even more painful to see people misuse lose and loose when English is not your native language.
Looks like most people on this forum consider acceptable writing moar instead of more, center instead of centre...
I'm curious: what happens if you do this in your school works in your country?

I was under the impression that centre and center were two different ways to spell the same word (UK and US spelling respectively). Did I miss something?
Yes, he leapt to an uninformed conclusion, likely no offence was meant. I would be reasonably chuffed if you blokes would end this quarrelling. Today you learnt that each country has their own flavour of English where words are spelt differently. This is an artefact of separate evolution of language in disparate regions, after constant dialogue is broken. There is no way to harmonise this schism in practise, even in the Internet age. Simply realise that you should allow people to spell things their favourite way, as long as it is considered correct somewhere. There is no defence of some unskilful Internet ignoramuses, however.
(UK people may not get the humour above; reading this is like being slapped in the brain with a fish to Americanos, due to the many non-American spellings.)

This thread is making me loose my mind.
Just stop it already , it is loosing its meaning as all of you repeat it over and over.
Some people have a few screws lose and will not follow it whatever you do.

Alot of grammar nazis approval is certain.
How about the mixing and apparent interchangeability of "their", "there" and "they're". That grinds my gears.
I think we all underestimate the number of people on these boards who's native language isn't English.
Can't really blame them for not using lose vs. loose. Their grammar is probably better than most Americans on here. #justsaying

It's not the hon-native English speakers. If they are advised of an error they will correct it because they want to speak the language properly. They have something lacking in native speakers.............pride in their ability to correctly read, speak and write the language.
I'm not a native English speaker, but even when writing something in my mother language, I am still trying to be as correct as possible. In short, I just feel obliged to write without errors...
