How does this happen???? Seriously, someone explain it to me!! Every word spelled correctly, but one!! That one evil word!!

"I'm seeking advice from somebody who conquered the same problem that I'm having or somebody who knows how to.
Apparently 25g of sugar is normal intake for a women/day. That's one large apple or an orange. (men 37.5g/day)
I eat in average 4-5 servings of fruit a day that means roughly 100g/day. ... ... I eat processed carbs or sugars very rarely. I treat myself with a piece of chocolate here and there, but that would be all for that category. I'm monitoring my proteins & water intake daily. I've been on paleo diet almost a year and I go to the gym on average 4x a week, but I'm not loosing weight and I blame the sugars. Can somebody please have some advice or trick how to basically stop eating fruit & cut on sugars, without having crazy cravings?"

I suspect that, very soon, just as nuc-u-ler is now considered to be an acceptable pronunciation of nuclear, "loose" will be listed in dictionaries as an alternative spelling of "lose".

I get my undies in SUCH a bundle when I see news outlets writing, "phased" instead of the correct, "fazed." I really have a tremendous issue with the misuse of that word. I get so irritated, truly, and it seems like a bit of an overreaction on my part! I'm fazed by the misuse! Fazed BIG TIME!

I was "that person" and mentioned the mistake online. I probably should just go outside instead, huh?

"Friendly staff and suffisticated interior....."

Probably too suffisticated for me.

If that was my office, I think I'd hide under my desk!

(in an attempt to let the 'power' pass me by)

I am thinking the same thing, and it will happen right after they say that you're is spelled as your. Maddening!!

You need to get away.

You know, somewhere far from the "maddening" crowd.
