You have no excuse for this. Loose means unfettered, free, not tied down, generous of space and
impure of sexual morals. Lose is what
I do with my temper when I see loose misused.
Well, perhaps you do have some sort of excuse for the mistake. We
write “choose” but, unaccountably, it rhymes with “lose” rather than the word it resembles, “loose”.
I
didn’t invent English spelling rules and
pronunciation. They are the unfortunate result of a bunch of violent Frenchmen
(Normans) with funny accents invading a
country where the natives spoke a form of simplified German (Anglo-Saxon). Nothing to do with me.
