This is oh so very off topic, but when I was in high school I had to attend a pahhhks depahhhtment meeting for a project. It went roughly like this: [VIDEO]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbK4cL3QSc0[/VIDEO] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbK4cL3QSc0 (It's not letting me embed. So that's delightful.)

past impact the weight has shifted to the left side.

Moving the hips laterally isnt enough.

Tour proΒ΄s also hit it short due to them dont utilize weight shift effectively as they loose accuracy if they do so.

This one generated a whole string of "What??" replies...

I happen to be quite familiar with that beverage. Maybe I'll knock a few back tonightΒ and see if it becomes any clearer.

Oh boy, he starts off saying Erik doesn't know what he is teaching or talking about. Yikes.

And then a bunch of drivel about SnT makes you hit short and spray the ball, andΒ all tour prosΒ hit it short or some such nonesense...

I was talking with a friend about this a few days ago after he typed "looser" instead of loser.

My theory is that, phonetically, "looser" looks to the eye how the word "loser" sounds. Β "Loser" has the sound of two "o"s back to back. Β Dictionary.com agrees:

Quote:

losΒ·er

[ loo -zer ]

The "o" in loss and lost sound different from lose and loser. Β You rarely see the former two misspelled, whereas the former often are. Β Loss and lost, if misspelled, are either exchanged for one another or sometimes misspelled as "lossed."

Yup. That was the straw ... but I seem to see it on here all the time.

(By the way, I think you wrote former twice a couple of posts up where you meant to sayΒ latter one of those times. ;)Β  Or is it ladder?)

We tend to try to fix those, but if my only reaction to the OP is "whaaaaa???" I might be slightly less likely to spend the time. Then the misspelling just sets the tone for what's coming up, so you get a bit of a warning. :-p
