RRRRRRGH -- Grammar Police
How hard is it?

Really?

Is it that difficult?

"LOOSING" is something you do with an arrow. "While loosing his arrow, he dropped his bow." As in "to loose." (Or, in France, Toulouse.)

"LOSING" is what you do with your keys. "Losing your keys is very inconvenient." As in "to LOSE."

Loose, used as a verb, is pretty archaic. Mostly people use "loose" to describe the type of pants that I'm wearing. If you're describing losing your files or losing your mind you wouldn't want me to let loose the grammar police on your ass, would you?

Please, people. Just read it over once before you hit "Submit" or "Save" or :wq for you vi types or c-x for emacs or WHATEVER. Spare me the headache of trying to figure out what you were REALLY talking about.
