I gotta say on this whole proof reading thing... I'm getting very tired of people saying "it doesn't make since".

Listen up... Sense, with an "e" is the word you want. In this use it means "practical intelligence." As in... "It makes no sense not to have someone else check your writing before publishing."

"Since" means between some time in the past and the present. As in "Since I decided to post this, I've lost total interest in the topic."

Okay, carry on.

Even worse than that is how almost everyone on the internet says "loose weight" instead of "lose weight." I see that all the time and it makes me loose my mind.
