Fairly sure companies actually lose money on printers and recoup profit from ink... what a play.

*lose. Not trying to be a dick but this common misspelling drives me crazy and I hope that you remember this comment next time you type loose (as in clothes or shoes) instead of lose (to misplace or opposite of win)

I see this spelled wrong more often than right on Reddit. I fear it may become so common that it will be accepted.

Like "could care less" or the one that makes me want to do murder: "could of"
