The one that gets to me is "web sight". "I could barely decipher the web site without my glasses, as my sight is poor without them." Kristal Crow ***************************************************** Penny, I think "lose" is the most misspelled word. I see it all the time being spelled as "loose". The other most misused word is "seen" for "saw". Kills when people say "I seen" when it should be " I saw". It has gotten bad with the use of "I seen" that even journalist on television are now using it. I guess they missed that class in college.

But it took me summer school to graduate from high school, so what do I know.? I think there is no such word as "loosing". Or am I losing it? JV ********************************************************************** No John, you are not losing it. LOL A dog can get "loose." At a party, someone can be "loosey-goosey." (an old time expression, probably not grammatically correct.) A worker can "loosen" a screw. A man or woman can be considered "loose." HOWEVER: The Buffalo Bills can "lose" a football game. (They do that regularly.) A wise guy can "lose" his bad attitude. The GSDCA can "lose" money. The membership can "lose" the war.
