idk I always have a lil trouble with it and have to do a double take when writing it. it's just so ingrained that oo makes the u sound so theoretically lose should be spelled loose because lose should sound like lowe's. that might just be me doe

If it's spelled loose, then we could end up with another Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

or Police police Police police police police Police police.

If lose should be spelled like loose, then how should the word loose be spelled?

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

No, loose should remain loose, and lose should be spelled looze

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago

Why, loosely, of course.

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

my gut reaction was to invent another word, but I think the better answer would be to also spell it loose so you have yet another lead lead situation >:D
