sorry, sorry, sorry.... but it's bugging me. If something is baggy it is LOOSE. When you have mislaid something, the word is LOSE.

[fryalot]

in case you didn't know.

[Bridie3]

Hear, hear, squonk. It makes me 'loose' my mind.

And while we're here, what about NOT using apostrophe S at the end of car names:

Merc's
BMW's
Ford's

[fryalot]

They'll be renaming the Greengrocer's Apostrophe the Car Dealer's Apostrophe!

grrrr!

[Bridie3]

Har! But these were actually Mumsnetters.

You know who you are.

[jumpingbeans]

I thought if it was mislaid,it was lost

[fryalot]

aah, jumping beans, but what do you do to make it lost?

You lose it, don't you!

hah!

[fryalot]

I spent ages wording the title. I kept typing 'when you have mislaid it it is losed lost'... um, no, that's not what I want to say...

[jumpingbeans]

You are right, I was only joking,bit bored this morning

[fishie]

while we are here it is passed as in passed by, not past as in time before.

and sliver. sliver is a little slice a slither is a snakey movement.

[AMumInScotland]

One petrol station I go to regularly has a poster up (very nicely printed etc) which says "Lock it, don't loose it". I fizz quietly ever time I go there...

[fryalot]

I would have to graffiti the extra 'o' out of that sign

[Bridie3]

I'd be thinking tippex at midnight.

[WanderingTrolley]

lol Bridie3

Plenty of people want to loose weight, which makes me lol.

[Bridie3]

I wish I could loosen mine! Instead of my belt.

[PrettyCandles]

And while we're on the subject, Muslims also use muslins. OK?

[Bridie3]

This one always gets my husband, Pretty Candles.

[lizandlulu]

oh my god, was this thread aimed at me

i have been spelling it like that for ages. it was a long time since i went to school

you learn something new everyday

[Bridie3]

I wish I'd kept more of my old muslins. They are so useful. I still have some terry nappies which are great round the house, especially for mopping up spilt drinks.

[fryalot]

lizandlulu - no, this thread was absolutely not aimed at you.

I promise.

(but if you've been putting "loose" instead of "lose" then it was a pleasure to be at your service )

[lizandlulu]

thanks squonk, its the best laugh i have had all day
