There, I had to say it. It's been driving be BONKERS all day.
You lose your keys.
You lose a bet.
You lose weight so your clothes have a more loose fit.
You have a screw loose and are a bit of a loser.
You ask a strong man to loosen a tight jar, but lose track of time watching his muscles.
AAAHHHHHHH!!! Get it straight, people.
Here's a not-so-friendly comic on the subject (f-bombs):

If I may add to this rant...
Your is possesive.
Your dog.
You're is a contraction. It's short for 'you are.'
You're weird.
STOP MIXING THEM UP!!!!!!!!!!

I think we need a whole topic on our grammar/word choice pet peeves. Most people cringe at the canon vs. cannon issue!

I have a big enough problem with inadvertant grammar and spelling mistakes, but the thing that really drives me crazy is leet speak (I think we had this discussion already a while back). Is it really worth looking like a twelve year old to save the .874 seconds you do by typing "ur" instead of "your" or "gr8" instead of "great". Gah! It makes me crazy!
