Bad Grammer makes me [sic]
Yes, the misspelling was intentional.
I saw this on a T-shirt and had to quote it, as it seems to be a recurring theme in my life.
Why is it that people cannot seem to spell the word "lose?" It seems that every time I visit a certain Weight Loss Surgery support board, somebody is misspelling this very simple word. Here's an example:
"I want to loose 100 pounds."
No, you don't want to loose them. You want to lose them. Your pants get loose when you lose weight. It's not a hard concept, this spelling thing.
Also, there, they're, and their. To quote one of my favorite cartoon characters, "AAAAAUUUUGHHH!" I learned to differentiate between these three words in third grade. Gettensie ein grip, folks. "Where are the children? They're over there, with their friends."
Oh, wedgie update - I lasted the night, but haven't tried again. It was traumatic.

Yay! First!
It's because they are all thick.
Simple as.
(notice how I cleverly avoided using 'they're' or 'their'?)
And yes, before anyone say it - I DO know which one to use!
