way off topic...sorry

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Sorry, but I just can't take it any more.  This is targeted at way too
many of you...not just one person.

"Loose" is the opposite of tight.

"Lose" is when you don't win --or-- when you had something but don't
have it any more.  That is, you LOST it.  Lost is the past tense of
lose (not loose).

Loose sounds like the beginning of the name Lucy or like the word
"noose" (the rope thing).

Lose sounds like the possessive form of "Lou," such as "Lou's radio is broken."

Is an Elecraft gray, or grey?

--------------------------

Actually, it can be spelled either way.  After much debate, I've settled
on "gray" since "a" comes before "e" in the alphabet.

Here is a site you (that's the plural form) may be interested in.  It
lists many common errors in English.  It's great fun to click and read.

Your Mr. Webster has a lot to answer for.  He was either lazy or could
not spell, yet he had the supreme cheek to write a dictionary.

He may have suffered brain damage from coffee, instead of tea.

Have you ever been exposed to the "joys" of Strunk and White's "The
Elements of Style"?  I was able to avoid it in undergrad school but it
was a required text in my law school's Legal Writing class, as well as
the Holy Writ for the resident grammarian to whom I've been married for
a couple of decades.
