I am a teacher and I just can not believe how many people do not know the difference between LOSE and LOOSE. Please take note:

LOSE is the opposite of GAIN
LOOSE is the opposite of TIGHT

LOOSE rhymes with NOOSE

Spread the word. It seems only about 50% or less know this. Thank you and have a good day!

    Thanks. I suck at spelling, so I'll probably forget this by the next time I need to say I'd like to lose more weight so that my new pants will be to loose, and I need to lose them and buy new ones.

    I think it's a typo and not a spelling error.

    Worse than misspelling LOSE/ LOOSE in a fitness forum, is trying to educate those that misspell it. :noway: :laugh:

    For some English is a second language but many folks don't know how to spell and think everything should be written like they are "texting" a 10 year old.

    I used to speak 9 languages at one point. I too like to make fun of others when they're speaking a non-native language and point and laugh at them. I am the greatest teacher of all the freaking time!

    Some of us are dyslexic and have a hard time spelling anything. I'm sure I've spelled it wrong a lot but I have to check at least 3 words per post with google and still mis spell a lot. Sorry this is annoying... :(

    That is so funny OP because I am a teacher and I just can not believe how many people do not know the difference between LOSE and LOOSE. Please take note:

    LOSE is the opposite of GAIN
    LOOSE is the opposite of TIGHT

    LOOSE rhymes with NOOSE

    That was driving me nuts too, but I didn't say anything because many people take it so personally when you correct their spelling
