Loose the spelling mistakes please!

Posted in Grammar! at 5:33 pm by alby

Loose or lose?

You decide…

Actually no, you don’t decide.  There’s a right way and a wrong way.

“Lose” means to not win or misplace.  “Loose” means set free or not together.  It’s really not a hard distinction is it?

Anyway I bring this up because I just saw an online advert apparent selling “loose fat now”.  The image this conjures up in my mind is frankly disturbing.

Sort it out!

Lovely story here.

Makes you wonder if the journalist knows what “flaunt” actually means.  Also makes you wonder whether he/she meant “flout”.  Perhaps.

Have fun.

Grammar weirdness or typo’s

You decide.

These are some examples I’ve seen today.

“The trains from london to manchester were a nightmate”

“I saw the tree blewed across the neighbourhood in the storms “

“I am usually a critque of Easyjet”

Marvellous!

Have fun.
