Sorry, everyone, but after seeing multiple posts by people (not only on this
list, but elsewhere as well) where certain words are consistently
misspelled, I felt that it was time to make a quick post about those words
in the hope that it would help us all communicate better in the future.
------ "loose" is the opposite of "tight", as in: "This bolt is loose."
"lose" is the opposite of "win" or "gain", as in: "I didn't mean to lose your phone number." ------ "your" means "belonging to you"
"you're" means "you are" ------ "it's" means "it is"
"its" means "belonging to it"
------
An apostrophe usually implies possession (or is used in a contraction),
and is not used for making a singular into a plural, so:
"television's" = belonging to a television
"televisions" = more than one television ------
And note that these things are not confined to programming; one quick drive
through my town where I see signs that say: "Hold your partys here" (for a
karaoke bar), or "We use all cloth shammy's" (for a car wash) has urged me
to make this post. Sorry for being a bit pedantic, and I hope no one takes
offense.
