Dear fanfiction writers,

For the love of God, "lose" and "loose" are very different words. Dean would not be upset if he looses Sam. I'm not even sure what that means. The word is lose. One "O" - now if you wanted to say "Dean decided to loosen the ropes pinning Sam to the bed" that would work.


This is one of my biggest peeves. I'm not an English native speaker, but the difference is obvious to me and the quantity of 'writers' who keep confusing these two words is alarming.
