What on earth does looses mean

Lose and loose are 2 totally different words;)

The 4 letter word means you have lost something
The 5 letter word means you are slackening something.

Sorry, but lose and loose drives me batty:rotfl:

So that annoys you and this, a little further down, doesn't?

"OMG IS THAT FOR REAL i ARENT BUYING IM TRYING TO SELL"

i ARENT BUYING ? Your target selection is flawed:rotfl:

I think we were cutting the house owner a little slack. Without wishing to appear mean, honest, it does seem that renters on these boards appear to be generally more intelligent than house owners.

Well, I've seen this situation many times. In the news this week a college lecturer was suggesting that we accept incorrect spelling as "new variations". The counter argument is that people should expound a bit of effort to learn how to spell things correctly. I keep forgetting how to spell necessary, so when I use the word I type it into google and it finds the correct spelling for me. ie: I know that I might be wrong, so I expound a bit of effort in an attempt to get it right.

I think Google should be capitalized? Using expound once is enough for anybody, let alone twice. I am not too sure about the punctuation in "spelling for me. ie: I know". Sometimes a spell checker just isn't enough.

So overall 8/10.

If you use Firefox you can download a free spellchecker add-on (British English spellchecker) that will work on text that you type onto any web page - such as when you make a post here. It works in real time as your type and underlines any dodgy-looking words in red to bring them to your attention. It also will highlight a word if it needs capitalisation.

It is missing a few words but overall is very good and a good way to learn proper spelling too.

Imagine, taking some time to do things properly and having some standards! What is he thinking of?

He was probably one of those dorks who didn't borrow to take on massive amounts of debt with no idea how to repay it too...... :rolleyes:

I expect Google would prefer to be capitalised, as they could be in a position to lose their trade mark if the word becomes part of everyday usage (viz 'elevator' and 'escalator' - both brand names which were lost because their owners left them unprotected, and which then became generic.) The Google site shows their trade mark in order to protect the brand name.

I'm fussy about spelling as well as certain points of grammar (for instance, "My brother and I" rather than "Me and my brother"; "different from" rather than "different to", and so on. I didn't go to a posh school, but the secondary modern I went to*, did demand a fair standard of grammar and spelling, and so did my parents.

(*I don't, however, go so far as to say "the secondary modern to which I went" - I'm pompous enough; but I do know that that would be correct).
