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- verb. to come to be without (something in one's possession or care)
loose- adjective. not close, compact, or tight in structure or arrangement
