Loosing is not a word!

If you let loose the hounds....you would be loosing them.
Just saying it's a word...0 -
I pay more attention to the meaning of the statements ..0

I think that most of us are smart enough to understand whether a person means loose or lose. It's not that hard. Who cares?0

No matter how many times this gets posted, people still will use lose and loose wrong. :grumble:0

Thank you for fixing the internet!0

That is very true, but whenever I see incorrect words loose vs. lose, two vs to vs too... I read the sentence as if someone were saying the wrong word.
If I see, "I am loosing weight," I don't read it as "I'm losing weight," I read it as "I'm LOOSing weight." Or "I am going too work", I don't read it as "I am going to work," I read it as "I am going TOO work."
Maybe I'm just too literal when it comes to reading the English language.0 -

Notice they don't have a sentence with the word "loosing"? Exactly.0 -
and btw loosing is a word, google it if you dont believe me.
edit: present participle of loose is loosing0 -

But the folks "loosing" weight don't see it!!!!0 -
I know, this bugs me as well, and I have to try really hard to keep calm when I see it. I wonder if this spelling is ok in England or other countries, as I see it so often.
I see it so much, and the wrongness of it is so ingrained in my head, that the other day I accidentally typed "My pants are getting LOSE" and then quickly realized what I had done. lol.
After awhile you get used to seeing it. No amount of threads about it will correct the problem. Some people are just not that concerned with their spelling and grammar. MFP only gives grades for weight loss, NOT for spelling and grammar mistakes!0 -
Really? Concentrate on losing weight, not on other people's grammar mistakes...0

and technically eventually loosing could turn into a form and or variation of losing. So long the general public continues to use in that context. I remember reading that somewhere, if the 'made up' word is used enough, and a general term known to most, then it technically is no longer made up. i cant remember the detail just a phantom of a possible reading memory lol0
