'Loose' and 'Lose'.

Greatnan good morning - there is a "pedants corner" on GN for this kind of thing. GN in its wisdom has set this up to provide a refuge for those who are passionate about the use of the English language. A haven to which they can retire and rail against falling standards, without succumbing to the temptation to point out errors in the spelling, grammar, punctuation, typing and spellcheckers of other members. I know you knew that really.

Thank you Greatnan, I very nearly started a thread on this subject last week.
Then I chickened out!
It does happen a lot though.

I was told when young that if something was too loose then you might lose it! This has never failed me if ever in any doubt!
