Incorrect, "Wrrby is a looser because he can't get the lose women."

Correct, "Wrrby is not a loser because he's going to get that chick's phone number and bang her until her fillings loose."

Funny thing is my fantasy football team here at work was supposed to be "Born 2 Lose" but an unfortunate typo made it "Born 2 Loose" which turns out is much funnier. Anyway I lost the championship this week to the 4th place team :( I was a solid second all season with a 10-3-1 season.

Or if you are in Canada or Englishland, then you might spell it as "Louze".

[Platypus]

I'm with you, Radical. And it's not like color & colour, those are legitimate spelling variations, "loose" for "lose" is simply wrong...

Like "you" when it should be "your" (Congratulations on you purchase...):

what about extra ,,,,,,,,

or Xmas

louzer

[Platypus]

or Xmas

Several possibilities are put forward to justify that:

X as a cross
X as the greek letter of the name Christ (khristos)

Probably my preference: as a substitute since Christmas actually has nothing to do with Jesus Christ...

[TechZ]

some words are even spelt similarly in US/UK English, but said differently and have different meanings. I used one today, but cant for the life of me remember what it is.

Alluminium pronounced al-you-min-i-um not al-u-min-um as the Yanks keep saying.
Rubber meaning eraser not durex is another.

I thought Rubber was what you put on your little Man so it didn't Lose or let Loose any of his little men ?

In Australia, rubber is normal usage meaning an eraser, and at least for older generations, durex is transparent adhesive tape (might work... )

[Platypus]

and cellotape? :devil:

Ah yes, Sellotape:

"SELLOTAPE ACTS TO STOP ITS BRAND NAME BECOMING COMMON USAGE
The Sellotape adhesive tape company is concerned that if their product's name continues to be commonly used as the generic word for sticky tape, their claim to the Sellotape trademark will become redundant. A law under consideration in New Zealand makes a registered trademark redundant, if the name falls into common usage. Sellotape has advised editors to use the words "sticky tape" or "adhesive tape" in preference to the brand name "sellotape".

The Sellotape brand is owned by Dalton Packaging, who also market staplers & punches under the curious name "Rapesco".

I mean, who thought that one up: "What will we call our stapler company? I know, Rapesco, that'll be great... "

Try working for a Canadian Company. Our reports go through Vancouver before they go on to the appropriate agencies in the US. Vancouver changes the words and then the EPA, MSHA, OSHA, etc. sends them back to be corrected. It's a never ending circle of spelling! :p

[cookin chef]

lose, loose, loser, looser

better than lozer, louzer, louse, louser, lice.
