First, I don’t believe you. Second, what’s with you liberals supposedly being so smart, yet you always get tripped up on grammar and spelling. Homonyms in particular give you trouble, someone in another thread used ‘loose’ for ‘lose’.
You aren’t on an island, it’s ‘aisle’.

I dont understand the constant harping on typos on this board - and it comes mostly from 'my' side, the conservatives.
Context is the communication factor, not minutia of syntax or spelling.
Especially in this era of 'auto-correct' even I - an absolute grammar-nazi with respect to my own writing - let things slip thru once in a while, requiring an immediate edit after posting. But that is a personal proclivity to protect my own sense of responsibility, not harping on others for the same.
I never comment on trivial grammar/spelling errors of others - especially if the context of the communication is clear. Those who do are just muddying up the conversational nature of a message board.
If one were submitting a document for my approval, I would be a strict enforcer of all grammar rules and a nazi on spelling.
This is not such a situation - give it a rest.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Homonyms are words that are spelled the same or sound the same.
"Loose" and "lose" are not spelled the same nor are they pronounced the same.
They are not homonyms. Make yourself a mental note.
Sorry to be so snarky, but I HATE grammar police. Even more so on things that could be a typing mistake.
