Why the heck to people have to start putting "loose" for "lose" now???

Question

So many people are stupid- not "stoopid"- enough, why oh why continue...? Why are people putting: "I'm trying to LOOSE weight!!!!!" Ugh. Maddening.... how did this thing start anyways?

Budweiser- I may have done a mistake on "to" instead of "do", I admit, but I actually have a right to put "why the heck" instead of the alternative that you mentioned to be more polite you know. Mentioning the word "hell" in normal conversation is not exactly the most... correct. And last, "anyways" is a word (check Yahoo! Dictionary sometime). It's an adverb and means "in any case"... so I would kindly and honestly suggest you to check what you're trying to teach!

Take care.

Wow, people are so rude for me making a little mistake because I was tired; I was writing at night... sorry, okay? But first I think all of you need to CHILL.

Answer 1

It's maddening to me, too. Too many people are falling into very bad habits when writing, and when talking. I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to this, but one of the biggest is when people say "Me and Joe are going..." or "Me and him are going...". This really grates at my brain, and unfortunately, it shows a real lack of education. I worry about how these people are going to fare when it comes to nailing down that important job interview, or meeting with people who actually speak the English language.

Answer 2

LMAO. Everyone runs to "Spell Check" as the answer. Hello!!! The spell checker would not change "loose" to "lose" because "loose" is a correctly spelled English word. Too many people are relying on technology to solve their spelling problems, but technology will not correct these errors: "I like it's color", "I see there house", "Their running away", "I think so to", "I want to loose wait", "Eye bare you're lodes"

NOTE as a case in point: Wobber (below). Wobber has no idea what spelling is, he just wants to push a button for instant gratification so that he doesn't actually have to WORK at spelling correctly. See my paragraph above to see why Wobber's solution is a failure.

Answer 3

I think there are more spelling mistakes in your question than the ones you are trying to point out on others..

Why the heck to people - Why the hell do people
anyways - better anyway

human is to error,

everybody makes mistakes my friend.

Answer 4

I agree with you...It is frustrating especially when its so easy to do a spell check.
Makes me wonder what these kids grades are in school and if they do this IM stuff there too. It seems like nobody remembers how to make a complete sentence.

Answer 5

Yes, really annoying, but these people won't understand your argument because it doesn't bother them as it bothers me or you.

When someone says 'I am to tired too do that' I am do not understand them, and have to re-read. Maybe it is because it is on-line, and people think that it doesn't matter, but the English language will soon degenerate into rabble if something isn't done, though I can't think what.

Answer 6

Why do you write "why the heck" instead of "Why the hell". How did this thing start anyway? without a S according to me.

Tell why.

Answer 7

poor spelling is one of my pet peeves. I understand ifits a massive or very difficult word to spell, but the difference in "loose" and "lose" is pretty easy to discern. Same as "their", "they're", and "there...that kind of stuff annoys me

Answer 8

Chek oot uva peeples speling on ansers, they aar fik...Juss hav a laff like mee.
Dozy feckin twats.

Writing like that isn't easy you know.

Answer 9

Just a common spelling error.

Answer 10

By your writing, seems like you stated it. why the heck TO people....is that suppose to be; why the heck DO people....yeah, that's what I thought.
