Hey, Kids! Take my "advize" and "chooze" to spell "looose" with three O's.

I'm sure you've seen it, maybe you've even done it yourself. Someone wrote on the internet that they were about to "loose" their mind. As if their brain was held in their head by a belt or only a closed spigot kept things from leaking out. Obviously, they meant "lose." Why does this happen so often? I posit that it's an over reliance on spell check.

Loose and lose can be spelled correctly, but in different contexts they mean very different things. My suggestion - just spell both of them with 3 O's "looose." Why would I suggest such a thing? Internet texting and social media posts reward creatively misspelling words as a way to convey enthusiasm, silliness, or just plain fun. I'm totally looosing my mind over this!

Even better, spellcheck is triggered no matter what device you're tapping that amazeballs comment into. Better yet, if you make this a habit, when you need to spell "lose" or "loose" correctly so as not to signify to the recipient that you're lazy, then the spellcheck trigger will force you to figure out the appropriate word you want to put in your email or text. "Loosing a client" sounds way dumber than "shaking lose some sales leads," but you shouldn't type either of them.

So, kids, just misspell "looose" with three O's no matter what and people will never think you're dumb and lazy. You're just a fun person!

Try this with "advize" too. The advise - advice thing is another word pair that doesn't trigger spellcheck. But if you spell both words "advize" all the time, you will have a "nizer" time. See what a fun guy I am!

"Chooze" is another fun spelling to show your neato wit. No one likes having others think you mixed up a past tense chose with choose because you're too lazy to correct the autosuggest on your phone. "Chooze" to be that wild and crazy text typist!

Sadly, I have no help to offer on "your dumb." That's all on you. Try harder, or just go the safe route with "ur dumb." You still look lazy, but at least you don't look dumb.

If you have other word pairs that need to be misspelled spectacularly, leave them in the comments below. I'll take your advize!
