Jans is always correcting my English, and I thought I would make my own thread to ask questions. Sometimes I find my self wanting to write a certain sentence, but I always end up finding other words because I'm not sure how it's spelled.

So if you could please help me out here..

Is it loser or looser?

Is it beeing or being?

I always write the first word in both cases.

loser and being :)

Loser refers to someone who lost.

Looser refers to something that has been stretched and is hence loose.

Being is correct.

I dont always :s

Don't get me wrong Jans, I do appreciate it.

Is it successful ? That's a word I always tend to skip in a sentence. I use "good" or something like that.

Sure is

If it weren't for spellcheck, i'd make loads more mistakes..

Successful is correct. Double c, double s.

woho!

*woohoo :P

Self improvement ftw, I kinda wish most of the internet was in another language so I could learn one.

Won't be too long before the majority of content will be in Chinese.

you can learn more dnm. read book's i guess.

most likely

Philippines flag! FTW!

I read a lot of books, unfortunately the only other language hard core sci fi space operas teach you is quantum physics.

beeing is also correct, it means someone is acting like a bee

that cant be right, cause then fucking would be if someone would act as a fuck :P

but then again, beeing might be used to describe the sound bees do, couldnt it?

No, Berserk is either trolling or just plain wrong.

trolling=troll beeing=bee

And there we have it, probably Skipper in disguise.

Trolling is how I fish on a lake, beeing is not acting like a bee, acting as a bee is known as "acting like a bee".

trolling=troll is a fallacy perpetuated by the internet, the term only exists as a made up word on the net, way to learn grammar from 12 year olds :P if beeing became a phenom or a meme then you would beecome correct, as language evolves to accept certain popular things and change what is "official" according to popular opinion. Your opinion is not popular, therefore you are wrong.

Wrong? I prefer "ahead of time", not wrong

Interesting concept, pity it has no market value, ofc if beeing becomes a thing then you'll be cool as shit!

and you will bee?

Skippering this forum still probably! *thread takeover successful*!!!

*unskippers thread*

You know what's annoying? People writing 'alot'. Abunch, afew and alittle aren't words. Neither is alot. I have to punch a toddler every time i see it. Stop making me molest children.

Um, that's your governments job Jans, nothing to do with me how you spend your spare time......

Was there someone in this thread that did it? Or are you just bringing it up because it's a common english grammar/spelling mistake?

The latter :)

It annoys the hell out of me when I am in line for a sub or something and hear people refer to lettuce as "salad".

Ex: I would like ham, cheese, pickles and salad on my sub

Just sayin..

I guess I can join in the grouching here.

I hate it when people say tex-ted instead of just plain texted.

Also drown-ded instead of drowned annoys me.

TinTin check out this BBC site it covers a lot of common errors.

I still ALWAYS get practice & practise wrong :|

You're all just a bunch of ignorant hillbillies.

Which is a pet peeve of mine. Please know when to change a y to ies or when to add an 's.

Not quite on the same subject but it's annoying when people think that being ignorant is ignoring people i.e. a phone call or a text.

Yeah, I don't like that people don't understand the difference between ignorant and stupid.

If you use google chrome it has a built in spelling corrector. Might save you from a few of your mistakes.

I actually do use it when on multiple bots. But most of the time I prefer Mozilla. It also has one built in.

Sometimes i hate english so much..

Sound, bound, found. Wound -_-

Could, would, should. Mould...

Weight, freight. Height...

Taught, caught, daughter. Laughter...

I hate things about Dutch too btw, but there's little point in sharing them with yous :)

So would you prefer we use "accent" marks to show the difference in the words?

That'd help

Meh, doubtful. I say use common sense. If it doesn't sound right, then it probably isn't

That's just it, it has nothing to do with common sense :) It's just something you have to know/learn.

Your mum is something everyone should know/learn.

Your mom is something everyone knows/learns.

ROFL @ JANS

English is the Borg of languages

And you are the Borg of Ninja's!

I prefer pirates.

Dosn't Doesn't whatevern't

meh.. help??

Does not = Doesn't

Not sure what the second word you're after :p

hehe thanks!

Here you go Tintin

tl;dr

Thighs ? (the part above your kneecaps)

Cleevedge ? ( the part between her boobs )

Thighs, yup, cleavage.

Thanks for the trophy :P And the input ofc

So.. what girl are you harassing with inappropriate msgs? ;)

So.. what girl are you harassing with inappropriate msgs? ;)

Me :(

Well you do have nice cleavage.

It's this cute girl online. She says she loves me, and need financial help because her mother is sick. So I send her some money every week. She promises that she will come to Norway soon.

So romantic
