I've noticed a lot of people mistakenly use the word "loose" for "lose." It's becoming annoying. Please look at these definitions (obtained from dictionary.com) and correct your word usage:

lose- verb. to come to be without (something in one's possession or care)

loose- adjective. not close, compact, or tight in structure or arrangement

    Lose and Loose...This one I am guilty of! What I can't stand is when people use the wrong "there", "they're" or "their". Frustration!!!
