Lose/loose.

The word 'loose' has two O's. You know what that does? It softens the s sound. Simples. So when you hear the word loose you should be able to spell the word loose. You should not think ok I'm going to write 'the screw had come lose' and be happy with your life. No. Because I'd almost rather spelt the actual word 'lose' with a z because at least that is phonetic.

Grrrrr.

You need to losen up a bit or you'll loose you're mind

I also HATE when people say 'Happy New Years' - it's 'Happy New Year.' IDK why that one bothers me so much. I suppose that it could be short for 'Happy New Year's Day' but regardless I really really don't like it.

Happy New Years...

If a group of people are standing and waiting to be served by a cashier are they 'in line' or 'on line'?

My mom all of a sudden started to say 'go get on line' out of nowhere like two years ago and it drives me crazy.

 

[Alita the Pun]

If you were on the line, that would refer to standing on a line. When you are in line, you are a part of a line formed by people
