Oh... this thread again. :eyeroll:

For the record, it's "harder" to spell "loose" than "lose" since there's an extra letter involved. Physically, it would take a bigger toll on your body spelling "loose."

Thread locked. Not only does it violate the below, it also causes drama, especially consider a large portion of this community isnt from an english speaking country.
