I read until I saw “loosing” instead of “losing” to describe the loss of something.

- scotty79 4y agoWhy the hell do loose and lose have the same "oo" sound? Lose sounds even longer than loose. It's asking for trouble.
- jjgreen 4y agoWhy the hell do 'bough', 'borough', 'through', 'dough', 'rough', 'cough', 'brought' all pronounce the 'ough' differently? Welcome to English!
- dagw 4y agoReminds me of a time was talking to German relative about cooking and she kept talking about making a "duff". Took me a long time to realise she was making a "dough", but had only seen the word written.
- qbrass 4y agoWriting 'o' and 'oo' to differentiate the two words was a workaround for not being able to write the letter 'z' in script, because it was easily mistaken for the letter 'ȝ'.
- estebank 4y agoAre you a simple parser? Because you read until finding the first reason to stop and bailed out. Marginally more advanced compilers will try to recover, get to the end with as much context as possible, and then complain, including maybe some extra info that came after that might be relevant to the error seen.
- dgfitz 4y agoAh shit, I’m a human not a fucking compiler. Apologies.
- matklad 4y agoSorry, dyslexic as heck even in my mother tongue! In writing I constantly mix even "thing" and "think", that's why there's 'fix typo' button :)
