    I'm so glad to see this thread up again.

    I haven't read all the way through it so I'm probably repeating what I'm about to say but it's worth repeating.

    Lately I hear alot of people on tv, or otherwise, saying "fustrated" instead of "frustrated". What happened to the "r"???

    The other one that I see everywhere is "lose" and "loose" used in the wrong way.

    A person doesn't loose weight. A person loses weight.

    Did she loose weight? , is incorrect.
    Did she lose weight? , is correct.

    These two words are so widely misused these days, I wonder if someone set out to get the words changed in the dictionary.
    People from all levels of education and all walks of life, etc. are mixing up these words. Why???


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    When it comes to the use of lose or loose I have to think about it because I think I have been guilty in the past and used loose when I should have used lose. I now use lost and moose to help me remember.

    "at"....as in "where's it at?" "Where is it?" The "at" is useless, unnecessary and hurts my ears.
    When we said that as kids, Mama use to say "between the "A" and the "T" every single time we said it.. We soon learned to leave "at" off of the sentence.
