RIGHT!? Also, there are A LOT of people on this site that use advise instead of advice but WAY more that use loose instead of lose. Drives me up the wall! Its goddamn ridiculous, which half of the site spells rediculous!
it was just funnier from Mouton, because usually he'd be on this intellectual high horse and when you'd tell him he couldn't be more wrong about something, he'd respond with "I don't need your advise."

Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, Indian, and what is now the Southern Ocean (formerly the Antarctic)

I will use that on purpose with my gf when she says "head off at the path". I've corrected her that it's "head off at the pass" and she can't get it through her head that that is wrong.

I don't know if that is right. If it is, it is BARELY farther east.

there is like an 80 mile difference. not that big of a deal for someone not to know that since they are a few thousand miles apart.

Probably not but it makes me feel a little better inside

On a cloudy night in high school, my girlfriend referred to the nebulous puffy things in the sky as "galaxies". She, for some reason that still escapes me to this day, thought the cloudy things in the sky weren't clouds, but fricking galaxies.
I feel weird and stupid trying to explain it.

I'm sorry but this is like nails on a chalkboard for me. I feel like this is a recent epidemic where the majority of this fricking country has forgotten how to spell the word "lose". It was not always like this.
Lose/loose is bad, but when people spell "no one" as 1 word it bothers the frick out of me.

I'm amazed at the number of people on this site that don't know that woman is singular and women is plural. "A women" drives me up the fricking wall.

It is damned close, but Savannah is slightly farther East.

I had done all manner of my own car repair for 10-15 years, including replacing transmissions, driveshafts, and most engine components.
Mrs. Sheep informed me, not long after we began dating in 2006, that the gas gauge in a car has a little arrow to indicate which side the filler is on. That was an eye-opener.

I also just learned this a few years ago and I was in shock. I went into a few cars before I believed the girl who told me

I have run across multiple women of different ages... it's always women -never been a man - who did not know that it was Japan and Germany that we fought in World War II.
I have no idea who they thought we fought, but they sure sounded surprised as hell that we fought Japan, especially.
