I’m a trouble-maker; let’s just make that clear from the get-go.
I also enjoy grammar correction. I enjoy feeling superior, being just a tidbit smarter than the other guy in one little instance or another.
However, I also often enjoy the lesser-used however still correct ways of using words. Especially when it’s accidental, or an otherwise comical twist.
First, red33410 is correct, in his judgement that zgrssd had accidentally typed “loose” when he meant “lose”.
Contrarian that I am, I chimed in with a lesser-used version of “loose” that is a verb, only to have red33410 (much to my delight) correct me with a blanket declaration that “loose” is an adjective. As if “loose” can never be a verb. But alas…
…”loose” can indeed be a verb!
Yes, this is the sort of $#!+ that makes my day, because I am just that sort of prick.
You wrote, “‘loose’ can indeed be a verb!”
However, you meant, “‘loose’ indeed can be a verb!”
When you’re right, you’re right.
Thanks for playing.
Biff? Tell him what he’s won!
*laughter* Thank YOU for taking NONE of this too seriously!

(…and in a moment, I’ll let the other bloke also win the last word contest)
Whatever floats your boat, man. Whatever floats your boat. Fine with me.
