Lose vs. Loose

I have never considered myself a grammar scholar. But I do know a few things.

The opposite of winning is losing, not loosing.

When you do not win a game, you lose a game. You do not loose a game.

When an article of clothing is not tight on you, then it is loose. You do not own a lose pair of jeans and your tooth is not lose.

Make sense? Book it.
