Is it horseracing or horse racing?

and racecourse or race course? i have seen both written

confuses the shit out of me..

I prefer Horse racing and racecourse by the way <

The internet has a lot to blame for,internet jargon has fucked up a lot of languages

what about racecourse and racecourses?

Another Fav of mine on the forum is

Loose - as in the horse is loose

Lose - the favourite will never lose

We often have the fav will never loose

Not really a place for english lessons. Half the crap I write when I reread, I mostly have to edit and fix and sometimes have to edit and fix again.

And not to mention the way you scots speak the Queens English.. lol

Try having a conversation with my daughter using ''Whats Up''.... I have no ideas what she is saying half the time...()

Bad spelling is as a result of mobile phone texting and has worked it's way into the naming of some horses as well.

Bayern i some times post by phone and i am always having to edit my posts...

and is it 2 mongooses or 2 mongeese or 2 mongae??

Furtherest is not a word, in Primary School we learned the words are far, further, furthest. You cannot combine further and furthest to make furtherest. Clyde, although being a top commentator is one of the biggest culprit of this.

And never most furthest - its either most further or furthest.

Also very irritating when I hear people on the radio talking about "more better"..... Aaaaaaaargh.

I agree with you.

Getting back to horseracing and horse racing and similarly racecourse and race course, I think that both are right depending how it is used in a sentence.
"Racecourse" should be used after a proper noun such as Greyville Racecourse
The words "race course" must be separated in every other sense eg I love this race course.

Similarly, Horseracing Authority and ......I love horse racing.

There is no need to separate the words with a hyphen as the words are not separated by 2 vowels.
