"Breath" is what you take into your lungs when you BREATHE.

You DO NOT "BREATH." YOU BREATHE. ARE WE CLEAR ON THIS????

And while I'm here, LOOSE WHEN USED AS A VERB DOES NOT MEAN THE SAME AS LOSE.

DAMMIT.

oy!, bootless, writing

Amen. I want to scream when I run into either of those transpositions. I usually stop reading, too.

Dooood. Yes. I'm so tired of those mistakes (especially lose/loose) in student essays. Makes me want to *scream*.
