4. Spellcheck won't catch that
since both "lose" and "loose" are properly spelled words.

Now if Elad could build a "Hooked on Phonics" button and a grammar check, that would be cool. I'd sure as hell use it.

But then, I'm a looser.

*narf*

No sense letting the neighborhood think I'm any weirder than they already do. Eh?

21. 'Their' vs 'there' vs 'they're' bothers me more
I've seen too many times over the years on the internet tubes where people say "there" instead of "they're"

"there coming over"
"there debating Iraq"

24. Spell check won't help 'em
It doesn't know if you mean "loose" or "lose." Same with "their/there/they're," "your/you're," etc. etc. etc.

People need to learn to spell. And punctuate. And use proper grammar.

Or else stop calling the Freepers on their goofs.

29. I'm staying out of GD for a while.
Not for that reason, or even for the flamewars. Actually, I've seen a few controversial threads produce some really mature, intelligent conversations lately. But that got me thinking, and now I have things to think about, and while I'm thinking, I'm not going to walk into the middle of any debates, because there's no one I trust to NOT try to push their own beliefs on me. After all, we all want other people to think our answers are the right ones.
