Re: [MBZ] Spelling
I have noticed that there is a quite widespread tendency in emails and 'net postings and such to use the spelling loosing or looser when one really means lose or loser. Never the other way around. And sometimes it comes out loosed when lost is meant. Granted the English language has all sorts of weird spellings and pronunciations that do not look like they sound, or sound like they look, but how hard is it to keep these two words straight? The other one on the MB lists is breaks for brakes. RLE

8 out of 10 times I will type 'ans' instead of 'and'. Happens nowhere else on the keyboard.
