This, ftw

References back to Hollywood Squares, IIRC (where you might pick a square "for the win" or "for the block")

Could have been worse. Excessive italicizing!

Frogs Talk Lugubriously?

"For the lose" makes no sense. It's "...loss".

I always read it as a noun, loss, because of "the". FTW = For the win. Win is a noun if you put "the" in front o fit. Lose does not become a noun by using "the".

Touche, but I guess that because I see "FTW" and "FTL" as pretty non-sensical and very casual slang, I feel like it flows better when it doesn't make grammatical sense. Endearing, to say the least. Or maybe I'm just too used to mentally hearing "For The Lose" when I see "FTL."

LOSS

Depends on the context in which it's being used. If you're playing WoW and somebody says it, then it's probably "For the loss." If you're watching Battlestar Galactica and somebody says it then it means "Faster than Light." If you're doing laundry . . .well you get it. . .

You're spot on with this. It just flows better when it doesn't make sense. "For the lose"

none of them, "For the loss"
