Words & Wordplay - January 2007

I am not asking this to be degrading, but when you are talking about losing, like you lost a war, a bet, a fight, etc. it is spelled L-O-S-E. There are so many people who spell it L-O-O-S-E. This is incorrect. That is "loose", meaning it isn't tight. Don't people take English class?

Doesn't 'sick' basically have a negative connotation? When I think of the word 'sick' I think of someone getting a cold or doing something gross, like sneezing and wiping it on their clothes. However, the recent youth slang has altered the meaning. For example, one kid might say to another kid "check out my new electric guitar, isn't it sick?"

In this case, overlapping often happens in the implementation of the work on site, of which the supervision is often times dominated by Engineering Department of Cordaid and the management. There are quite many decisions of inspector of Polytechnic which are *annulled* by the management and Department of Engineering.
