    loose vs lose

    is this a new net slang thing I'm not aware of?

    I notice this a lot here


    let loose the ties that bind us. did I just lose my lighter again? I certainly did not set it loose, it can't walk. think I left it my friend's car so loost


    not spelling police, just curious

          I think it's more decades of a slow burn into lack of illiteracy, then when you call it out someone says you're a nerd while they post from their shitty Hyundai Elantra on their cracked iphone.

              I think you meant 'slow burn into a lack of literacy' but I'll forgive you cuz I forgot a word in my OP. missed an 'in'

              plus making your suno track was fun though way too screamy

              I'm loosing the plot here

                  loose refers to something not being tight or fixed, lose involves misplacing something

                              Loose - meaning she sleeps around or her ropes are coming off
                              Lose - is when the escort debits your card for $35,000 instead of $350 for the half hour.

                                              I am at a loss. Should I loosen my pants or lose some weight?

                                                              it's annoying to me when people misspell 'lose'

                                                              a contraction of 'it is', or a possessive as in belonging to someone or something

                                                              its is used mostly used for non living or gender non-specific stuff in place of his, her, their


                                                              all this stuff really doesn't annoy me. just baffling how first-lang english speakers can't master 3 and 4 letter words

                                                              I honestly thought the whole loose vs lose thing might just be an internet trend or something, it occurs so frequently
