One of biggest pet peeves actually. The Englsih language is dying a slow, painful death.

The most ridiculous thing though isn't even when some common Joe Shmoe gets it wrong - but rather, when I see ACTUAL advertisements (on the street, on tv, etc) making the same mistake. Kind of a sign of the times, no?

If you think the English language is fading, the French language is falling much faster. At one point, it was in the news that some teachers were trying to intergrate a new system where points are not deducted for spelling mistakes. The new system would validate, homework, essays, on their meaning, if the teacher got the drift of what the student is saying, it gets a pass. Disgusting.

Yet the French have complained non stop about the insufficient use of their fair language in the Olympic Games. Just goes to show that if you give people (Natives are the best example) special priveledges they'll always want it all. My Canada includes Quebec but they sure know how to push the envelope.

Learning French is compulsory in the PhD program at U of Ottawa. Oh well, opens more doors.

Im surprised you didn't get your fellow Indians to boycott that so you could get some sort of Native exempt status.

daande, you're hollow and broken, like the shadow of a tormented ghost trying to escape its form.

Get some help before you end up where you're headed.

Sorry to rain on your parade but loosing is a word. It is an word not used much today as we usually would use the term loosening.

He lives in Ottawa. I would not say la-la land.

His employment opportunities are likely considerably more than yours.

and now i am afraid i have to rain on your parade. i was aware. i checked it, just like you, before i put that thread up. however, in the context of lose/lost/losing (like i originally posted) - the word 'loosing' does not exist.

You are correct that loosing has no association with lose. While we are at it the one I see far too often is "your" instead of "you're". Oh, and the other is people not capitalizing the first letter of a sentence. ;)
