the difference between the word loose and lose? I see the word loose missused more than any other word on YA. The word loose is when something is not tight...for example "My pants are loose."
Lose is when something is no longer around, or is in the process of being lost...for example "I want to LOSE weight."
Thank you.

For my first two answers, it is called a rhetorical question. In which the answer to the actual question is not the point of the question.

I see that you are quite frustrated with all the misspellings here. It's the same with except and accept. That's the one that gets on my nerves the most. It's just a common error that we all should understand sometimes but have a hard time doing so.

You're right. There are sooo many people spelling words wrong or using the wrong word usage. It drives me insane, also, but considering I tend to spell words wrong when I'm in a hurry or omit a word here and there, I just try and ignore it. Keep in mind that quite a few of the people on here are young kids. Oh, and you're welcome. :)

I understand this, but when you know the answer why bothering asking question? You know what? You are lost ... lol.
