Who’s dumber: “lose” or “loose” people or $ after the amount people
Posted on 10/5/26 at 10:35 am

Both are persistent by resident OT scholars. I’m trending towards $ people as we are inundated with ads that do this properly, but I’m open to changing my mind.
Please advise

Ozempic has made everybody thin so Mingo has to find someone else to vent his wrath on.

Also those who put the apostrophe at the end when abbreviating a year, such as the championship team of 19'

There’s a practically endless supply of similar errors on TD every day. You surely don’t have to limit it to these two.

$ at the end doesn't bother me. It kinda flows better imo. lose vs loose confusers are likely dumb dumbs.

These two are particularly retarded. I can see how a there/their happens, but “lose” and “loose” are completely different words

Can someone give me an example of "$ after the amount of people"? While it seems obvious what these words mean, that would make no sense to me and I don't recall ever seeing it, so I feel like I'm missing something
ETA: Ignore the above. Just realized I added the "of". So we're talking 100$ people. Meh, I don't like it, but whatever. Some currencies do it that way, so it's just convention

Putting something up for “sell” easily beats both of those.

$350 vs 350$. Some other countries list the currency symbol at the back of the number.

I'm about to loose my mind, I can't believe that _____ was 400$!

I was apparently typing out my edit as you guys were typing out your replies

5$ as opposed to $5 is what I am taking it as. It makes sense and honestly doesn't bother me in certain situations, especially if you deal with foreign entities and currencies often. Most of Europe and Asia do this and it can quickly become the norm if you live in that world.
