Thing is, my youngest is only 8, and theres, gob shyte of the year neighbour standing there, with his equally as gobby foul mouthed kids, plus half the other reprebates of the neighbourhood, all standing there, blaming him for everything. He gets all confused and doesn,t know what he,s saying in the end. I mean he got blamed for everything. I wouldn,t have minded if he,d have come round, without the kids, and we had talked about it calmly, but no, he can,t do that. He,s so confrontational it gets my hackles up right away. Why can,t some people string a sentence together without being aggressive and swearing? That is just so pig ignorant and rude. I hope they never speak to me again. I,ve never liked them anyway so it would suit me just fine. Next thing I,d like to see is a "For Sale" sign outside their house. Now that would make me happy. Horrible people they are...really horrible.

LOOSE = opposite of tight. LOSE = opposite of gain.

(It was somewhere else on the internet that I just saw this – not Bettermost where the cool people are. ;) )

Um, there is only one S in loose, too.
Did you mean one O in lose?

I think it is important to always keep in mind that not everyone who surfs the net, posts in forums, blogs, etc. is a native English speaker. I for one confuse lose and loose often because the pronounciation is the same. It might be easy for you to tell between both terms but it is not the case for me or other people.
LauraGigs:
Hi Opinionista. Yes, I'm aware of the many posters out there for whom English is not the native tongue. And they have my admiration and respect, believe me; I could never write in a second language half as well as they (or you).
No, I saw it posted (for about the 1000th time) by a native English speaker who self-identifies as a "author, journalist and editor" so I figured bitching is within my rights!
;D
