I realize it&#8217;s just a little sign for a basketball tournament. But, is it really unreasonable to expect a sign that is hung within a school to contain the correct spelling of such an important word? I certainly don&#8217;t advocate reliance upon word processor program spell checkers, but at least they will alert you that [...]]]></description>

I keep seeing these two words being used incorrectly and it&#8217;s frustrating! Lose and loose aren&#8217;t even homophones (two or more words pronounced alike, yet are different in spelling, derivation, or meaning such as their, there, and they&#8217;re).
So, just for the record, here are two quick definitions for lose and loose.

		<description><![CDATA[In the past couple of days (perhaps a bit longer), I have come across two interesting words that I want to delve into a bit more here in the blog. They are:
Brooches (commonly misspelled as &#8216;broaches&#8217;)
Lavalier
Both of these words are used in the jewelry industry. However, lavalier is mostly associated with microphones these days.

I thought this was an entertaining article from Fox News today. Personally, my favorite was the Children&#8217;s Dimetapp warning, &#8220;be careful when driving a motor vehicle.&#8221; Most of these warnings are absolutely ludicrous. The article lists only a few examples, so I thought it might be fun to come up with some additional ones that [...]]]></description>
