This is the thread to help correct the many misspellings and butcherings of the King's English found here on the forum.
One of the many errors I see is people spelling "lose" as "loose". I suppose its because "choose" is spelled the way it is.
So for the record: "lose" rhymes with "choose", "loose" rhymes with "goose".
Used in a sentence: "I will LOSE my temper if people CHOOSE to live as LOOSE as a GOOSE."
Feel free to address any other common mistakes found here on AFF. If we're going to be legalistic about something, let's be grammar legalists!

Ha ok, I consider this a personal problem,
since the meaning is still received,
but apostrophe's before esse's (s)
imply "ownership."
My mother's apron was a big hit with the other mothers.
The only exceptions are if/when articles of speech
(its, theirs, ours...and the commonest one,
which is escaping me at the moment) have possession,
no apostrophe is needed, and will be read as a contraction of "is."
It's considered perfect because of its beauty.

In the spirit of legalism...it should be "Queen's English."
