Lose , not Loose

This is probably the most commonly misspelled word here. We are all doing it, so let's spell it right. We LOSE weight, we don't LOOSE it. We are losing weight, not loosing it. Loose is an adjective as in "not tight". Lose is a verb. Lose or gain. Lose or win.
I doubt that this will change spelling habits, but thank you for allowing me this mini-vent.
