For be it from me to point this out, but it needs fixing.

May 09, 2005 yodaofborg link
I have noticed a number of of players (sorry al, your one of many) saying *you should not loose standing* or *there have been a few posts in roleplaying concerning the tendency of some people to start a fight and then run away when they begin to loose*

Some from ingame, some from the forums, I believe this extends beyond typing error.

The below line is true, unless there is a bug in the English language.

I lose one step a day, due to loose pants.

Lose : To be unsuccessful in retaining possession of.

Loose : Not fastened, restrained, or contained.

I should not be the one to point this out, as I cannot type.

[Edit]

The title should be :

Far be it from me to point this out, but it needs fixing.

Which further proves my point. I cannot type.

Why? I think it's "for out".

No, I can't edit the titles either. You should probably be glad about that.

shouldnt the title be "Far be it FOR me to point this out?"

and incidentally I didnt realize i had tapped two o's in my post its fixed now but i will point out that at the bottom i did mention that the post needed re-editing. :)
