I’m surprised, btw, by the number of e-mails I get where “loose” and “lose” replace each other. I can understand an occasional “it’s” “its”, or even a “there” “their” blooper but not “loose” for “lose”.
Any typos on this blog are just that… typos! I know how to spell, but due to the speed I crank this stuff out with mistakes slip in. I’ve got a job you know!

Naturally we assumed your mind was operating at a breakneck pace that your fingers couldn’t keep up with. I have the same problem. It’s the people with the opposite problem I worry about. Did I use “it’s” correctly there? I’ll check the poster.
I was thinking of buying the poster for my office at the school, but some PC weanie might whine about some of the jokes on it.

“affect” and “effect” have several uses. If you’re not certain you know what you’re doing, use some other word.
