Sounds like a... Loose/Lose situation.
?
FR though, that particular error gaining so much traction is kind of amazing to witness. Sure, language can evolve and change but it can also just be wrong.
Correcting with grace is a tough skill to both attain and master, but literally any effort is better than often using incorrect words, making one look like a fool who is out of their depth in many situations.
here's another one that makes me crazy. "Needs painted" instead of needs painting, fixing, mowing, etc.,. Anyone using this, please just stop.
https://i.maga.host/byvieSj.png here, I agree that it's not correct usage, but it's actually coming from Scottish immigrant dialect. No idea why the "to be" is left out there but I've heard youtubers from Scotland doing the same thing. "This really wants repaired," for example. So it's not really a your / you're, there / their / they're, kind of mistake; can't blame it on fluoridation and common core, basically.
Didn't know o the Scottish origin. I've heard it rural America quite a lot,
How about 'i could care less' when it should be 'i couldn't care less' lol
Yes! Please make it go away, thank you.
