At the risk of being labelled a pedant or worse "a spelling Nazi" I would like to point out the difference between the words "lose" (verb: to be deprived of, unable to find, fail to win etc.) and "loose" (adjective: not tight, slack, careless etc.).
I don't know why but the mistake of using loose/loosing instead of lose/losing seems common on this forum (another example appeared today) yet I rarely see it elsewhere.
OK, I'm ready for the flak and just hope I haven't made any spelling or grammatical errors in this post.
