Answer for question 4484.
Aug. 14th, 2015 12:37 am[Error: unknown template qotd]Writing "loose" (as in not tight) when they mean "lose" (as in opposite of tight). I don't know why, but that one just sets my brain on edge more than any other grammar mistake.
I never understood how people came up with the expression "learning curve." It means the time that it takes for a person to learn a task, as in "There's a pretty steep learning curve on that new software." But in that context, the words "learning curve" don't make any sense. The most annoying part is that I find myself using the expression because everyone knows what it means. I can't escape it.
