Hey 90% of people on the Internet:

It's LOSE not 'LOOSE' if you mean, "I'm going to lose a fortune."

'LOOSE' rhymes with GOOSE and PAPOOSE and means, "not attached securely."

Teams don't loose games, they lose them.

Thank you, that is all.

your welcome, ha ha ha

that's my bugaboo along with others but that one really chaps my hide. It's You're for you are, and your if it belongs to you! Argh, walk the plank if I see that again (unless I do it by mistake).

Yeah, accidental mistakes where you're in a rush don't bother me as much as people who obviously don't know correct from incorrect, and consistently spell things wrong or use incorrect grammar.

I make lots of typos, leave extra words in, omit important words, and even do the your/you're thing here and there, but it's only because I'm lazy and type very fast and have not double-checked my own work. I KNOW what is correct though. Some monkeys out there have no clue.

This is quite forgivable if English is not your first language, of course, but unforgivable for any citizen of the US, UK, South Africa, Australia, or other parts of the Commonwealth who should know better!
