If they were similar in German as well, I think the mistake would be easier to avoid for German native speakers at least.<br /><br />The one at fault here is squarely the English language for having homophones with almost identical spelling, but entirely different meanings. (Ignoring the consideration that to loosen something could mean you're soon to also lose it.)Silfirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556090754583144358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-82410121035454150552012-02-06T00:00:21.053+01:002012-02-06T00:00:21.053+01:00Lose/loose is a very common error with people who ...Lose/loose is a very common error with people who have English as their first language.

"Loose" (adjective) is a different word and has a completely different meaning.<br /><br />Anyway, I can't wait for the next version a) because of the new UI mode and b) it's been months since the last release. :-)Laukkuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258625692586860655noreply@blogger.com
