Loose = Lose?

What a bunch of inconsiderate fools you all are. I'm English and yes I sometimes confuse the spelling of the word lose with loose. It's not because I can't spell or don't know the meaning of either of those words, it just happens. People can't remember every single aspect of the English language at any given moment of the day. Get over it. If the English language had more consistency these problems surely would not arise.
I suggest that you think before you jump to conclusions and show some consideration.
So long, you heartless morons.
