Why do so many people confuse 'lose' with 'loose' ? 09:12 - Apr 18 with 5738 viewsMaySixth

see it time and time again

lose - be deprived of or cease to have or retain (something).
"I've lost my appetite"

loose - not firmly or tightly fixed in place; detached or able to be detached.
"a loose tooth"

Love how your example of "lose" in a sentence is "lost" 😂

Lose, choose, fuse... loose, juice, truce, misuse... English language creates confusion with inconsistent spelling, so not shocking that people get it wrong.

I blame Girls Aloud for that one, as an entire generation now believes it’s the correct spelling of “allowed” due to their band name.
