I haven't ranted in a while, so:

1. Quit saying "untracked" when you mean "on track". THEY ARE OPPOSITES!!! (even sportscasters/writers do this and it drives me nuts!)

2. "Lose" is spelled like that, not "loose". "Lose" means to fail to win a contest, or that you can't find something. "Loose" is the opposite of tight.


anyone else in?

2. "Lose" is spelled like that, not "loose". "Lose" means to fail to win a contest, or that you can't find something. "Loose" is the opposite of tight.
Also, the noun form of this word is loss. A game that was lost in the past is a loss.

Thank you.

People using "impact" as a verb because they don't know the difference in "effect" and "affect".

It's neither/nor and either/or, people.

Use "between" when distinguishing two different objects or people, use "among" when there are more than two. EXAMPLE: Just between you and me, baby our love will always be. The crowd of onlookers began to talk among themselves.

to - Are you going to the game?
too - also; We are going to the game too.
two - it's a number: 2...I think we will win by at least two touchdowns.

Then - The morning of game day we're going to pick up some beer and then we are going to do some tailgating...
Than - I would rather die than be a Florida Gators fan (or Texas fan for you Sooners)
