Subject: Friday Fun: What Pet Peeve makes you puke?
Earlier today I saw a post that contained what might have been a clever
unexpected placement of a word, or what might have been the result of
some automatic spell checker's "fix" of a typo. But outside our list
it's such a basic and common error that it makes me want to puke every
time I see it: when someone writes the word "loose" when he or she is
trying to write "lose." http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/ for more resources and info.
