    Grammar Pet Peeve: Loose versus Lose

    One of my biggest pet peeves on web forums is the misspelling of the word "lose" as "loose". I admit that I've made the mistake myself before, and I always kick myself in the behind when I do. Granted, not everyone on the Internet is a native English speaker, but I find that native English speakers make the mistake as much as anyone. This blog post by Eric Pinder explains the difference between the two words well.
