Lose and Loose


Thorin

Recommended Posts

Lose : Fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense; "She lost her purse when she left it unattended on her seat"

 

Loose : Not tight; not closely constrained or constricted or constricting; "loose clothing"; "the large shoes were very loose"

 

 

That is all.

Yes, good point. And whilst we're here:

 

Brakes: they're the things that stop you hitting walls, small children and that ar5e in the lorry who just pulled out in front of you

 

Breaks: what will happen to your legs if you keep writing like a 3 year old Lithuanian orphan and confusing these two words as well

Splendid. Also for consideration:-

 

 

Bought: to acquire the possession of, or the right to, by paying or promising to pay an equivalent, esp. in money; purchase.

 

Brought (from Bring): to carry, convey, conduct, or cause (someone or something) to come with, to, or toward the speaker: Bring the suitcase to my house. He brought his brother to my office.

On an unrelated note...

 

Anyone who uses the line "I could care less" rather than couldn't care less deserves to be beaten with a hot iron.

 

Take a look at David Mitchell's excellent video rant on this very subject. It's on thedailymash.co.uk

 

My personal hate is 'back in the day'.

 

'In the old days' = English

'Back in the day' = American
