I have finally figured out what the most misspelled word in the english language is: Lose
Not that you would know this from my postings, but some people call me the grammar queen and I am pretty particular about grammar on work-related emails and such. Somewhere around 6th grade I remember coming pretty close to winning a spelling bee so I have credentials. :) But seriously, I need to say this if it only helps one person out there:
LOSE is when you lose a game, or lose a contact lens, or lose someone's phone number, or when you have nothing to lose, or you want to lose yourself in the music, or (on a happy note) when you LOSE WEIGHT!!
LOOSE is when you've lost weight and then your pants are too LOOSE!!! or the lid on the jar is loose, or you want to "let loose" and have a good time, or when the noose around your neck is (hopefully) loose! Easy to remember loose rhymes with noose.
Next lesson will involve: their, they're and there. But for now: "Lose Yourself" by Emimem
