people who type “loose” when they mean “lose” actually irk me so much. “loose” is an adjective that describes your moms pussy. “lose” is a verb and they’re pronounced differently. “loosing” is not a word because you cannot make a gerund from an adjective.

what irks me is like “there” “they’re” “their” are pronounced the same. “too” “two” also are. It’s annoying but I get it. “Lose” and “loose” aren’t even pronounced the same and ppl still mix them up! How? I read it as the wrong one and it pisses me off

Loosing technically is an archaic word meaning to let go of

No I agree, I’m just saying it is a word
