    Thought I would play Grammer Nazi for a moment and help out my fellow forum members a little here with the proper English use of these often mis-used words that are used out of context so many times...

    Here's the perfect example of how the word "Loose" is mis-used so many times:

    "I will only loose like 100.00 dollars"

    Now the correct way: "I will only lose like 100.00 dollars"

    Correct Way: "How could I lose my wallet while I was in there"

    Wrong Way: "The lose I suffered in that casino really hurt"

    Correct Way: "The loss I suffered in that casino really hurt"

    Correct Way: "I just lost the farm while playing in there"

    Correct Way: "The slot machines were really loose though"
    Now the correct way: "I will only lose like 100.00 dollars"
    Actually, not so

    Correct way: "I will only lose 100.00 dollars"
    or "I will only lose around 100.00 dollars"


    Instead of "around", you could indicate the approximation with words such as "about", "approximately", or you could be more long winded and say "in the region of".

    What you CANNOT say, is "like", unless you are under 18, in which case the sentence becomes "I will lose nothing like, as I am too young to play, like"

    You could have took the safe way out with misspelling "grammer" and said you were trying to prove a point!

    Good point, how to use words correctly in a sentence. I would be totally lost, or is it loss or loose, Ah! forget it.

    What about i before e, or e before i, ence instead of ance. I think the list can go on and on. I know I've made a few mistakes, does it matter. "Nah Sh*t happens!" What's important we can laugh at ourself and try to learn.

    When in school I enjoyed being with my friends to much to waste all my time in a book, and still got a diploma "Or is it deploma". The good old days!

    You can pick away at my grammar now. Others have before and I thank them.
