Grammar and Spelling Lesson of the Day... - GoFuckYourself.com

Eric · 02-01-2012, 10:51 AM

I am sure many of you will say that you do this on accident, and I could easily go along with that excuse if you only did this once or twice, but not the over and over and over again that I see regularly. We have been through the YOUR YOU'RE stuff before. We have also been through the THERE THEIR and THEY'RE stuff before. Lately though, I have seen this new error too many times to not warrant some education.

lose
[looz] Show IPA verb, lost, los·ing.
verb (used with object)
1. to come to be without (something in one's possession or care), through accident, theft, etc., so that there is little or no prospect of recovery: I'm sure I've merely misplaced my hat, not lost it.
2. to fail inadvertently to retain (something) in such a way that it cannot be immediately recovered: I just lost a dime under this sofa.
3. to suffer the deprivation of: to lose one's job; to lose one's life.
4. to be bereaved of by death: to lose a sister.
5. to fail to keep, preserve, or maintain: to lose one's balance; to lose one's figure.

loose
[loos] Show IPA adjective, loos·er, loos·est, adverb, verb loosed, loos·ing.
adjective
1. free or released from fastening or attachment: a loose end.
2. free from anything that binds or restrains; unfettered: loose cats prowling around in alleyways at night.
3. uncombined, as a chemical element.
4. not bound together: to wear one's hair loose.
5. not put up in a package or other container: loose mushrooms.

Learn it, love it, USE it correctly!

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

my writer friend would bust on my for this and taught me a good way to remember...

LOOSE - a woman has a loose vagina... two O's represent tits. Or my balls are loose, two O's represent each testicle (only works for you guys that have 2).

LOSE - your a loser, I lose my mind. All are 1 thing with 1 "o"

I before E except after C

KRosh · 02-01-2012, 11:47 AM

There, their, they?re

there is a place, they?re is ?they are?!

Their, on the other hand is the possessive, of them, and is used when talking about their money, their size or their awesomeness, but never ever their awesome!

Definitely, definately, definitaly

Definately and definitaly do not exist! It?s definitely and that?s definite and final.

Could have vs could of

He could have brought me a brand new iPad from New York.

On the other hand, ?could of? means absolutely nothing and people who use it should be lined up and beat down.

Your and You're

?your? and ?you?re?. ?Your? is a possessive pronoun: Your car is green. ?You?re? is a contraction of ?you are?: You?re a great swimmer.

A lot

The correct spelling of ?a lot?, which is not ?alot?. ?A lot?, meaning ?many? or ?a large amount or number?, is an informal expression that should be written as two words.

DWB · 02-01-2012, 11:51 AM

That's an easy one.

Just remember this:

You are losing money because you have no idea what you're doing.

Your mom is a loose fithy whore.

The Porn Nerd · 02-01-2012, 11:53 AM

THANK YOU ERIC for pointing this out. It's been driving me nuts for a long time now (admittedly, a short drive).

The example I use to try and educate these grammatical morons is this:

"You LOSE your mind; your vagina is LOOSE."

Rochard · 02-01-2012, 11:54 AM

Eric is loose.

This one jumps out at me, too. Oh, that's another one - to vs too (as in 'also' or 'an excessive amount').
I went to the store to get me some beer and cigarettes too, but they were too busy so I came back home.

pornguy · 02-01-2012, 02:34 PM

This is something that does NOT bother me on chat boards especially when I consider that a Larger number of these people are speaking English as a second language.

If they say something confusing, I just ask.

It's often the native English speakers that tend to write like a mong, and nobody can really complain about someone who is ESL - especially as if you reversed the situation most native English speakers are terrible at any other languages.

English spelling is a terrible mess anyway, full of arbitrary contrivances and exceptions that outnumber rules. Why receipt but deceit? Water but daughter? Daughter but laughter? What is the logic behind the ough in through, dough, and cough? Instead of trying to get the letters right with imperfect tools, it would be far better to loosen our idea of correct spelling.

Tomorrow's lesson: To, Too, and Two.

I went back TO get my keys and caught her humping the gardner.

I was TOO pissed for words.

She was a TWO-timing whorebag.

Incorrect usage: I wanted one but the price was to much.
