Dear Internet: Learn how to Spell

Sunday, April 27th, 2008 | Design

Even second graders can get this right, yet somehow the distinction between the words “lose” and “loose” is completely lost on Internet users.

Here it is, the concrete definition as understood when I was seven fucking years old:

“lose” means to have lost.

“loose” is when you sleep with the head cheerleader.

Got it?

So tired of seeing this bullshit on every forum and message board and yahoo answers page I come across.
