The word is 'lose,' the verb form of 'lost.' 'Loose' is an adjective describing something not tight. I don't even thing 'loosing' is a word.

Let's try it in a sentence!

I want to lose weight.
I am losing weight!
I have lost weight.
I am a big loser for posting this.

But I had to.

"Jazz speaks for life. The Blues tell the story of life's difficulties, and if you think for a moment, you will realize that they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new hope or sense of triumph. This is triumphant music."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

I think most of us have pet peeves of one kind or another, Libby. That's just being human.

Another part of being human is that it's really difficult to be perfect.

What is important here though, is that no matter how we spell (and I'm very guilty of spelling atrocities, myself) we make allowances for members of our LCE family, as we would our "real" family. It's the sharing of support, information, and friendship that makes this place work, no matter how we express it.

Libby, I'm sure you were being humorous, and heaven knows, the world needs more humor, but feelings have gotten hurt unnecessarily on a similar thread in the past, therefore I'm closing this thread.
