You LOSE weight.

You have LOOSE skin.

I don't know why, but when people misuse these terms it just irks me. In a forum dedicated to LOSING weight though, I think we should know how to talk about it. Am I being too much of a dooshbag?

I am a rainbow kinda gal and don't care how they spell it as long as they get the help and support they need. That being said you could always in a nice way PM them and let them know so you don't embarrass them. Just my 2 cents

I never say anything, that would be in bad taste. I just silently judge them. Much less douchebaggy...

I can see your point in regards to a formal article or publication but in a casual forum full of honest typos and auto corrects?? My vote is "dooshbag"...
