Um, I didn’t write this!

This is a comment from this story in the Sacramento Bee (I copied and pasted this directly from the article – the numerous errors are not mine):

Here we go I am a caltrans worker I knew this was comming , furloughs and layoffs . and if you didnt you must be smoking something . I for one have already lined up a new job , those who have skills as I do wont worry those who dont , will . Bottom line if you didnt see this your either not very inteligent or very foolish , did you think any operation can contniue the way this state has been run into the ground , realise it the gravy train is done .Time to either move on or live with whatever you have to live with . Sorry kids time to grow up and suck it up , there is only so much money and once its gone its gone . This here is a reality check of things to come within the next few years , sorry to be so honest , but reality is just that , reality

Hey dude, you have as much right to call other people “not very inteligent” as George W. Bush does…   If you had to pay one cent for every grammatical error in your comment, you would be broke.

Pet peeve – confusing “advice” and “advise.”

It’s amazing how many people mistakenly use “advice” instead of “advise” (and vice versa.)

Don’t people know the difference between “loose” and “lose”?

Why do people write “loose” instead of “lose”? The words do not even have the same pronounciation, so they don’t even have the same excuse that they have with “to” and “too” or “their” and “they’re.”

Now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve seen anybody write “lose” when he or she meant to write “loose.” Why is this error asymmetrical?
