Everyone makes mistakes in public, often when trying to be helpful or clever. A woman made a major grammatical blunder when she attempted to correct a man's spelling, only to be completely wrong.

A confident error

TikTok user Ahmad Abid, who uses the handle @ahmad.abid40 on TikTok, uploaded a screenshot of a Facebook post. In the photo, a man named Prhof Dominic Selemela (who obtained his law degree in April) shared the following:

"Once I scroll in your profile and don't see graduation pics, I lose interest."

In response to the post, a woman, Tee Melanin, tried to correct the man, saying:

"'Loose' not 'lose.' Don't hold that degree for nothing."

Unfortunately, her correction was incorrect, as Dominic had used the correct spelling in his post.

Take a look at the screenshot in the picture below:
