Lose versus Loose --- NOT picking on anyone, I promise

The other thing we have to remember on OH is not everyone is from the US /England/Canada so not everyone has English as their native language. And some don't have all the education that others have. We come from all walks of life and all educational backgrounds.

And like Gina said, for some of us it's a left brain/right brain thing...of course in my case it may be a swiss cheese brain thing. I just hope the holes don't line up and things fall thru.

Thanks for all your replies.  I do love it here on this board and my posting, my motivation for it, was to be a helpful hint just like one of the dozens of great tips I have received here regarding food, exercise, pre- and post-op help.  You people are SUCH a lifeline for me.  

Have a really terrific holiday.

I notice it, I correct it in my head (used to be an English teacher), and then I imagine all of us "loosing" our excess weight upon the world, letting it float free and grab onto unsuspecting persons who wonder where it came from!

Drives me nuts too Kat along with their & there.  The one that DOES get me sometimes though is accept and except.  I know how to use them; however, I still have to think about it at times when I use them.
