Loose...Lose...Loss...Lost, Grammer Nazi !!!

Actually, not so:p

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"
..................well i "like" lose money all the time, but my "grammer "has always been kinda loose anyways, kinda like my betting:D...j/k...............

Or...your name is "Like" Paris Hilton !!! :p
 
Oh man...Blueboy...you got me there man...I'm ROTFLMAO now...:lolup::lolup:

I love it when I can laugh at myself instead of beating myself up !!

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

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

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! :thumbsup:

You can pick away at my grammar now. Others have before and I thank them.
 
To be a super grammar Nazi you would not use "lay" in place of the present tense intransitive verb "lie." I'm probably being conservative when I say that 90% of English speakers get this wrong.

Wrong Way: "I'm going to lay down now."

Correct Way: "I'm going to lie down now."

I think it took Chutzbah to start this thread. I am loving it!!! That is a huge pet peeve of mine. My body cringes when I see loose instead of lose. BUT..when someone from another country is using a translator or is learning our language, I can't really be too upset with them .If I see someone from the United States using the word LOOSELY , I tend to get upset. I don't know why it bothers me so much either. I see this on other forums and there are many people that yell at them as well so I guess I shouldn't feel so guilty about being upset LOL

Also......TO......TOO

wrong.....I am going too the store / right: I am going to the store
wrong.....Can I go to?/ right: Can I go too?

Too= as well,

I may do that too
I am going to do my homework
I am doing my homework too:D
 
I've got friends in Holland and Belgium. For fun they once tried to teach me a little Dutch. When they explained how their grammar worked it was so confusing :confused: I guess that's why people refer to gibberish as Double Dutch :D

I did learn one thing... "Ik ken Nederlandse woorden" :cool: ..... I think that's right :confused:

You play loose at the casino and lose your shirt. After suffering your loss, a drunkard bumps into and you say to him "Get Lost".
Lou lost the loot to Lois in a game of loo. Lou thought, "Another loss... I lose and lose... Am I a loser?... No, that loose louche Lois led me on." Lou was livid and lost it. In lieu of a rematch, Lou ran off and locked himself in the loo.
 
Here's a funny site:

Link Removed ( Old/Invalid)

It has many comebacks for letting people know that they've spelled ridiculous wrong. :D

I love this one:

You are my hero.

Who else would be brave enough to put their name to something with "ridiculous" spelt wrongly in? Your indignation at whatever injustice you felt necessary to write about is in no way undermined by your incorrect spelling and for that I salute you.

:lolup:

A hell of a tongue-twister. My tongue is now numb trying to read that out, Aka.

On this light-hearted topic, I would like to share a 'word' with you guys. Back about 30 years ago when I was still at college, I came across the word 'stagflation' during my Economics lessons. I wasnt paying attention but I knew this wasnt good for the economy. Being a true gambler, I tried to guess what it meant and aha, since a stag is a fast-running animal, this should mean hyperinflation or runaway inflation or at least inflation in double digits. Now, so many years older but not necessarily wiser, I finally read what that 'term' means frrom the newspapers and that stagnant growth coupled with inflation.

So, trying to guess a term or a result(at the tables) can be a real joke.
 
Huh? I thought you meant "Gramma" which is the short form for grandmother I think.

no i meant because Rob had started a thread complaining about people spelling things wrongly and spelt the most important word in the header wrong. He spelt Grammar as Grammer :D

These could become "I hope to lay that young bird at the bar, but I will have to lie to the wife tonight":D

Now you are all confused as hell, like.:D:D
 
Thanks for the post RobWin! My grammar and spelling is awful
and I blame everyone except myself! :oops::lolup:

I hate to ask but I could really use an "acrynoyms" (sp?) list.
There are so many used here I rarely know what anyone is saying
If anyone has a "casino speak" list it would be greatly appreciated!:notworthy

Some of these come from texting, as well as those that are genuine "casino speak".

Common examples of "casino speak" are:-

WR - Wagering Requirement

D+B - Deposit PLUS Bonus, when referring to the principal that the WR is applied to.

SUB - Sign Up Bonus, or the bouns offered for NEW players at any casino or group.

F U Clause - Casino Speak for "you haven't actually broken any rules, but you must have "scammed" us, so F*** You, we STILL aint paying". This is usually done by quoting a wooly clause that allows the casino to do anyting at "management discresion", and such clauses are called " F U Clauses"

Perhaps these need to be housed in a forum information section, updated whenever new acronyms pop up.

Thanks VWM! I wanted to ask in a new thread, but did not think
it was all that important.. I usally figure most of them out eventually..
but there are still many I would like to know.

I guess they are more bad words and less casino speak!
I saw a few people get banned for a few letters and got worried. I hope I never
spell something wrong and curse someone by accident!:lolup:
