1 edit | LOOSE vs. LOSE
[rant]
This thread is not VoIP specific; however, the word LOOSE has been getting used far too often in VoIP threads when the intended word was LOSE.
For some of you, english is a second language. Therefor, making such an error is understandable. For the rest of you... SLAP! 
In short, when something is TIGHT, it is not LOOSE.
When you don't WIN something, you LOSE.
- FULL definition of LOOSE
- FULL definition of LOSE

So please, let's not talk anymore about LOOSING arguments between VoIP providers, because that's just silly! You should instead be LOOSENING those arguments!

Upper Marlboro, MD | You're kidding about "loosening an argument" ...right?
You would be LOSING. Maybe I missed the joke here (it is early). Anyway, not taking a shot at ya, just had to ask.

Re: Spelling B :)
Have not noticed that :)
What I notice is people saying "then" instead of "than".
Than : comparison My spelling is better than yours.
Then : a moment in time Remember way back then?
Therefor should be therefore.
(And the site spell check misses it!)
And the there is
There, their, they're which often goes astray.
BUT, in the long run, ...
Minor the minors, and major the majors.
If deliberate lies are not being committed ... let it go! :)
Just take a deep breath. If its not a Hey Mods offense, then there is no offense.
Truth be told I've seen many a Vice President of a company, who could not spell well. Many a mangled email. :):

A second language for me is English, not english.

Here is another one: your is not the same as you're.
BTW, where are the mods? They tend to remove off-topic materials from this forum; however, they seem to have missed this one and have not removed it from here... Bummers! |
