Click here to see the entire poster.

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.

    It is = It’s (-:

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