Loose vs lose

I understand that not everybody on this site speaks English as their first language, me included. But I’m seriously going to go insane with people posting in threads without the knowledge of the difference between loose and lose. It makes you look incredibly Ignorant.

Perhaps this lesson should wait until they've mastered the difference between "To" and "Too".

I think you have loosed it.

Maybe a lose screw in daead?

Is a dog stupid for not understanding a person, or is a person stupid for not understanding a dog? I would think the one with a superiory understanding should have the basic function of compromise to communicate should they choose to, or you can just beat it,.. beat it,..

Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it 
No one wants to be defeated 
Showin' how funky and strong is your fight 
It doesn't matter who's wrong or right 
Just beat it, beat it 
Just beat it, beat it 
Just beat it, beat it 
Just beat it, beat it

Hey man, just let lose a little. No reason to loose your temper over this.

a reply to: DISRAELI

Their really isn't no reason too do that...losen up and loose the attitude!

Perhaps not a bad idea to reform it in some cases these days.

For example, in some ancient texts we may read of a "loose woman".
Dose she require recapturing by the patriarchy?
No she was a "lose" woman who lost her chains.

Do guys really "lose" their virginity?
Did they forget it somewhere?
In this case I say they "loose" their virginity, as in the first unbridled salvo of the Armada to follow.

I hate the Too and To dilemma. Sometimes it is Too difficult To distinguish the proper one of the Two To use.

Guess my job? I'm an editor. I do a lot of proofreading, among other things. I spend too much time worrying about it at work to get fussed much over it here.

You lost me at loose.

Spelling or grammar is one of the last thing I would ever judge a person on. Who cares they're not that good at spelling or grammar. I'm not that great at it myself. Spell Check and Grammarly are my friend.

Not scientific. Bad spellers can be brilliant analysts.

a reply to: ketsuko

I just want to apologize for making your eyes bleed whenever you read one of my posts.

Ditto

I only use it against people who use it against others. The OP should be careful. Someone might go back and find all of his mistakes in previous posts... not to mention this one. lol

Who or whom should worry?
