netbuzz writes "More than a quarter of the under-30 crowd has decided you only need one telephone — and it sure as heck does not plug into a wall. The trend towards an all-mobile lifestyle is accelerating, according to a new survey. Besides younger people, lower-income people are also more likely to have cut the cord. And while businesses may be a bit slower on the cell-only uptake, there appears to be little doubt at this point that the traditional landline will be joining rotary dials and party lines as a relic of the telecommunications industry."

Jesus fucking christ, can you people learn how to spell? I've seen this exact misspelling at least a half a dozen times since yesterday. It's spelled 'loses', which happens to be based on the word LOSE. I'm sure you're familiar with it since you're such a fucking loser.
Oh, and don't give me shit about me being an American who doesn't speak any other languages. I learned CHINESE. They don't even have a fucking alphabet.
