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"
