Today's rant inspired by this in an otherwise very nice piece of fic: ...I'm just being scared that you won't feel the same and that I'll end up loosing your friendship.

Okay, I've seen this mistake so many times in the last few weeks that I'm assuming it's now epidemic. Also, it's getting to that point where it looks almost normal to me.

People, you cannot 'loose' your heart to someone. You 'lose' it. The bonds she tied around your wrists may be 'loose' but you 'lose' yourself in her eyes. Right? Help me out here because the mistakes are really starting to look normal to me. I'm starting to question myself. And even MS Word lets this sentence go without a green or red squiggly underline.

I'm assuming its some sort of archaic thing, like "loosing the bonds of love" or loosing the hounds of war or something. The Loose Canons test? love it.
