				| There, I had to say it. It's been driving be BONKERS all day. 
 You lose your keys.
 
 You lose a bet.
 
 You lose weight so your clothes have a more loose fit.
 
 You have a screw loose and are a bit of a loser.
 
 You ask a strong man to loosen a tight jar, but lose track of time watching his muscles.
 
 
 AAAHHHHHHH!!!  Get it straight, people.

 Your is possesive.
 
 Your dog.
 
 You're is a contraction. It's short for 'you are.'

				| I think we need a whole topic on our grammar/word choice pet peeves. Most people cringe at the canon vs. cannon issue! _________________

				| I have a big enough problem with inadvertant grammar and spelling mistakes, but the thing that really drives me crazy is leet speak (I think we had this discussion already a while back).  Is it really worth looking like a twelve year old to save the .874 seconds you do by typing "ur" instead of "your" or "gr8" instead of "great".  Gah!  It makes me crazy! |  |
