  > Irregardless of your perceptive on this, it is good to be self-conscience Well played! Perfectly acceptable internet usage. Especially in a world with auto-correct. :) Yet somehow lose/loose grates a little when a they're/their or it's/its doesn't. Possibly as the mental pronunciation has already led me down a blind alley. Or possibly I have no idea why. I almost never make comment.

    I tend to suspect that lose/loose, break/brake, etc. are often a case of the user not knowing the difference as they often appear consistently in a comment. Whereas, even though I know the difference between it's and its (for example), I still just make a mistake now and then because of mental pronunciation. But I don't comment either although I notice and twinge a bit :-)
