Loose = Not Tight

I agree!! This seems to be a national trend lately. Even my daughter used it incorrectly the other day in an email to me Where did this come from?

My big pet peeve is bad grammar all around. The occasional misspelled word doesn't bother me because I've been guilty of it. It's the run on sentences, Leet speak, and misuse or lack of puncuation that kills me.

You know I can see how spelling can bother people when it is done wrong on something important, but I cannot see why spelling and grammar is such a huge deal on an online Forum! I drives me nuts, that it bothers so many of you! most of us are here because we love our animals, and also to unwind from our daily duties. So if i spell something wrong, i dont realy see why it matters! I shouldnt have to spend extra time making sure my grammer and spelling are correct here, when i have to worry about it so much, on more important things! This is my free time, i dont want to have to worry about anything, except my animals, and my family/friends.

I suppose it comes from being the age I am and the way I was taught in school. When I went to school, spelling was a huge deal and I am personally a stickler for good spelling. On the other hand, my grammar is terrible so I guess people probably don't like that.

I don't care if people make errors because everyone can't be the perfect speller or speaker or anything else. I certainly know I'm not perfect. I just have trouble handling the fact that some people seem to be trying to change the original English language. I mean no offense to anyone

I understand that there is alot of people that seem to be trying to change the english language, especially more towards slang. I understand perfectly what you mean. But there have been many times onthis froum where people have been told that they spelled something wrong, or that they used run-on sentences and such. I just dont think it is anyones place to do this here.
