Looser/loser does it drive anyone else crazy?
Advertisements [?]
I keep seeing this weird spelling. Does it drive anyone else crazy?

If you have a pair of pants that are too big they are "loose"; if you take off your belt the pants will be "looser".

You can "lose" in a game of poker and that will make you a "loser".

Dammit, how hard is that to distinguish?

Every time I see someone using "loose" when they mean "lose" or "looser" when they mean "loser" it drives me crazy!!!!!

Anyone else get bugged out when they see this mistake?
