Loose often is used as an adjective to mean &#8220;not rigidly fastened&#8221; or &#8220;not tight-fitting.&#8221; Lose (when confused with loose) often is a verb meaning &#8220;to miss&#8221; or &#8220;to suffer deprivation.&#8221; When determining which word to use, I start with lose then consider [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dynamiceditor.wordpress.com&amp;blog=27815226&amp;post=237&amp;subd=dynamiceditor&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

However, many grammar sites, such as Grammar Girl, Oxford Dictionaries, and About.com&#8217;s Grammar section, have already debunked this persistent myth.
