And the word that means to misplace something is lose. Loose is what your trousers are after loosing weight.

Whatever Jimbo. Don't start a Spelling thread if you can't spell yourself.

Here we go again. Shunt pontificating, as usual, on a subject he is least qualified to judge. Spelling is a skill, not a 'relatively common skill' If it were so,we could expect Shunt to be better at it. It actually does have a bearing on intelligence.Not of course an opinion I would expect him/her to share

If the latter part of your post was directed at myself, please let me clarify, if not just disregard; I have seen 'definately' and 'definition' in the same sentence recently and thought that along with the invention of the good old fashioned spell-checker it might be worth posting up some commonly and incorrectly written words accompanied by the correction. The thread wasn't meant to suggest that people are uneducated or sub-standard in any way. If I'd have wanted to suggest that then I'd have started a thread on how crap my driving is and let everyone agree with me and tell me how great they are on the (super) highway, whilst repeatedly caning vocabulary and grammar in the process.

My spelling and indeed my writing is not brilliant. Fortunately my secretary is paid to take care of such things. I have noticed increasing evidence of estate agents inability to spell quite elementary words. For example http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-20550778.html?pageNumber=1&backToListURL=%2Fproperty-for-sale%2Ffind.html%3FsearchType%3DSALE%26locationIdentifier%3DREGION%255E632%26radius%3D5.0%26displayPropertyType%3D%26minBedrooms%3D%26maxBedrooms%3D%26minPrice%3D%26maxPrice%3D%26maxDaysSinceAdded%3D3%26includeSSTC%3Dtrue%26_includeSSTC%3Don%26sortByPriceDescending%3D%26primaryDisplayPropertyType%3D%26secondaryDisplayPropertyType%3D%26oldDisplayPropertyType%3D%26oldPrimaryDisplayPropertyType%3D%26oldSecondaryDisplayPropertyType%3D%26newHome%3D%26retirement%3D%26auction%3Dfalse%26partBuyPartRent%3Dfalse%26x%3D72%26y%3D5&locationIdentifier=REGION^632&radius=5.0
