Although I am now more than 90% descriptivist in my outlook I still HATE seeing "loose" used for "lose". Sadly, stopping it seems a Canutian endeavour. Nevertheless, my ire has it uses, as in protecting me from spammers:

Just don't unlose the dogs of war, Max.

But why? Why must we lose this one? Does that mean I have to stop crossing out the extra O? Don't throw in the towel yet Max.

I really don't notice this lose/loose business over here at the source so maybe all is not lost.
