right. because starting with lowercase changes the meaning of what i wrote unlike loose <-> lose, which are totally, like, the same thing.

It didn't change the meaning, because everyone understood what he said. The human mind is amazing at that. If you're going to be pedantic, fine, but own up to it.

Loose means something totally different than lose. Personally, I read each as their (real) meanings and when they don't make sense I have to go back and reread the sentence.

Yes, I can figure it out, but it's no fun to have to work to read comments. May as well let commenters use 113t-speak if we don't care how hard the comment is to read.

Were you actually confused and thought he meant "loose"?

If you're going to correct someone, you should make sure you are also correct. In addition, not using a capital letter makes it look a bit like txt speak and generally brings down the level of discource.

Discourse. Let us all just stop now.

A spelling mistake, sorry. I wasn't correcting someone, just pointing out why his posts were getting down voted.
