Lose vs Loose
Ha ha ... I love SCRABBLE so don't assume I am an English teacher ...
I have noticed time and time again, the word 'loose' used when it should be 'lose' .... 'loose' is an adjective and 'lose' is a verb ...
When I LOSE 10 pounds, my pants will be LOOSE.
Have a great day and hope you pants are getting LOOSER!!!
:drinker:
