Simaril gives us another great example this week:
loose versus lose
Oftentimes the words loose and lose are mixed up in writing. What you'll find is that authors will write loose when they really mean lose.
Loose is an adjective meaning the opposite of tight:
Bella was so depressed after Edward left that she stopped eating; her clothes became loose on her frail, hungry body.
And, well, in lemons...I'm sure no one wants to delve into a loose...hole. *blinks rapidly*
Lose is a verb, and it means to suffer the loss of, to miss:
Never bet against Alice; she never loses.
