Loose...Lose...Loss...Lost...

Thought I would play Grammer Nazi for a moment and help out my fellow forum members a little here with the proper English use of these often mis-used words that are used out of context so many times...

Here's the perfect example of how the word "Loose" is mis-used so many times:

"I will only loose like 100.00 dollars"

Now the correct way: "I will only lose like 100.00 dollars"

Correct Way: "How could I lose my wallet while I was in there"

Wrong Way: "The lose I suffered in that casino really hurt"

Correct Way: "The loss I suffered in that casino really hurt"

Correct Way: "I just lost the farm while playing in there"

Correct Way: "The slot machines were really loose though"

Ok...I guess I should ask myself how do I answer that ? Do I go the intelligent route, or the sarcastic route as you did ?

Think I will go the "Sarcastic Route" and say to your questions........

You play loose at the casino and lose your shirt. After suffering your loss, a drunkard bumps into and you say to him "Get Lost".

How did we come to a place and time where the ability to read and write one's mother tongue is considered "being perfect?"

I'm certainly no grammar nazi but seeing what passes for acceptable communication skills these days is enough to make one despair for the state of the world. I guess this is how people become grumbling old codgers that talk about the old days.
