Glad to be of service. ;)

My pet peeve is the interchangeability (NOT) of “lose” and “loose.” When I read Nikita saying, “I don’t want to loose you, Michael,” my snarky self replies, “Please--I’ve been handcuffed for hours; it’s your turn.” LOL

Since 'when' were lose and loose interchangeable? Kiddeth me not, please, nikita31j7...or is this some sort of vile usage that has recently become fashionable?
The former is a verb and the latter is an adjective.

Alas, it's true--though one more so than the other.

Hold tight to Casey's hand so you don't loose her.

He hated to loose the race.

It's even listed at Ramna's in the Writing Tips page.
