"lose"/"loose"... AHA!

My daughters were just discussing "lose" vs. "loose" and my 12-year-old came up with a great little reminder:
"When you LOSE, you LOSE an O; LOOSE is LOOSE enough that there's room for an extra!"
With all the posts I've seen about people getting these words confused, I thought I'd share.

Bump for people who are less grammatically correct than a 12 year old.0

I actually had to search this to see if anyone else noticed! I even went online to see if lose was spelled loose in other countries!0

I just posted this in a similar thread; but it merits repeating...
