Agree. It's worth mastering this common error for your written communications for the rest of your life.

To quote Ian Fleming: “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”

Maybe they are a person who's second language is English. I'm not sure if you're trying to convey some ironic sentiment in your comment but "losing your patience" at this honest and easy mistake for a person who's first language isn't English, but it didn't come across well. I can be just as pedantic and say "Are you serious? "Lose." is not a correct sentence."

who's -> whose

(ducks)

I up voted this because it's hilarious

Normally, I don't like it when people correct silly mistakes like this. Maybe this kind of feedback is useful when publishing a book or sending an important email, but we all knew what word they had in mind. I didn't even notice until you brought it up.

That being said, I can't help but feel some sense of poetic justice that someone complaining about everyone making stupid mistakes that could have been avoided if only they had spent some time thinking, made this stupid mistake.

Although to be fair, they do seem like they feel like there is something incorrect about this behavior ... perhaps it could have been put in a better way, though.

Oh, I assure you, the poetic justice is not lost on me. :) Serves me right, I guess.

Although, to clarify, I do not mind people making stupid mistakes. Not in the least. I mind them not trying!

> I mind them not trying

Seems fair to me.

Maybe they mean they loose their patients. The violent ones can do real harm.

My brain almost loosened reading the previous comment. I think you're right about the patients. He uses them as some kind of weapon when he gets angry, apparently.

best comment I've read on here.
