Both can be correct since they say different things.Dancing Fire|1444201269|3935694 said:I lost money at the casino? or I lose money at the casino?
This can be correct if this is the tense you are talking about.Dancing Fire|1444201269|3935694 said:I lose 10 lbs?

I've tried many times to get them straight and I've given up.

It drives me insane the way that so many people these days spell the simple "lose" (as in "I'm going to lose my mind") as "loose"! Arghhh! I'd say about two-thirds of the time on the internet it's spelled wrongly. "Loose" is a completely different word with a different pronunciation. And the internet is full of people who apparently think that "loose" and "lose" are the same word and pronounced the same. I mean, I'm no expert myself but come on, "lose" is an extremely simple word and the meanings and pronunciations of "loose" and "lose" are distinct.
Rant over.

Gyps, I don't know that one. I mean I know the word, "moot", but I don't know how people mix it up. Please elucidate.
Deb, who really gets most of these instantaneously (because she is orientated, as kenny put it).
