Who is sick of people saying they want to "loose" weight?

Almost everyone on here spells it that way! Loose means ill fitting.. baggy.. LOSE is when you want to get rid of something such as weight.

Update:

It's not like I lay awake at night thinking of it. I just notice it a lot. Give me some credit people.

    I'm bothered by it. Also, a lot of people don't know the difference between where and were. C'mon people, you should have learned this stuff in 2nd or 3rd grade. But I bet you can beat all 100 levels of Mario.

    loose weight means untightening the weight

    ex:To make loose; undo: loosed his belt.

    Language is for communicating., The deaf language would not spoken by all but understand by the world full of deafs., See the loose doesn't making sense but useful to communicating.

    In India we spell DALDA instead of vanaspathi.,

    Mcdonalds insteads of restaurant

    I'm guessing this is one of your pet peeves?? It's ok...Just count from 100 backwards to 1. Breath in and breath out. Don't "loose" you calm! You must "losen" up!

    YES! Thank you.

    These people are lazy speakers and they don't read (at least not things that are spelled correctly) so that's why they can't spell.
