Proper use of the word LOSE

We didn't "loose" the Des Nations this year!

I was hoping we wouldn't LOSE the race this year.

Ryan Dungey's spokes were Loose and that's why he didn't ride better.


Lose: verb. to no longer have or fail to keep, or to suffer from a loss (compare to lost, using "o")
Loose: adjective. free from fastening or attachment or not be bound (compare to loosened, using "oo").


Another simple lesson from the grammar police.

Sorry, I had to do it.

Nobody fucking ever LOSES a motocross race. They may not win, but they never lose.

Apparently it was a poor attempt on my part to stick with the theme and misuse a word.......such as to.

Have you ever seen Brandon's first race. He was a looser.

So what if it is?

Do you believe this is the platform to educate the masses on the proper use of current English language?

Is he a lesser man if he's not as literate in language as he is in mechanics, or riding skill?

Do you correct the girl at the WalMart checkout line, as well as the person that serves you your breakfast?

Tell me, why do you have the need to follow people around and inject your obvious mastery of a certain skill to them?
\
Are you on a mission to save the English language, or just showing how smart you are in a certain aspect of life?

Enlighten me, please.
