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.

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

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

grrrr!

Har! But these were actually Mumsnetters.

You know who you are.

I thought if it was mislaid,it was lost

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

You lose it, don't you!

hah!

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...

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

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.

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...

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

I'd be thinking tippex at midnight.

lol Bridie3

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

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

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

This one always gets my husband, Pretty Candles.

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

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.

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 )

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