It hasn’t yet been a month since I ranted about “lose” versus “loose” in this entry.

Less than a week later, I was reading “Better Available Light Photography” by Joe Farace and Barry Staver, published by Focal Press, an imprint of Butterworth-Heinemann, when I came across the following:

Once the clip test is evaluated, the balance of the film is then processed to achieve the best results. It’s easy to do a clip test and not loose one animated, important image.

Then, last night I was being a sensitive New Age guy, reading “Nothing’s Wrong: A Man’s Guide to Managing His Feelings” by David Kundtz, published by Conari Press, an imprint of Red Wheel/Weiser, and read:

[…] change is constant and pervasive. Often it also is unannounced: a new job, a new family, a different place to live, changed priorities, getting or loosing money, an illness […]

Sometimes I feel like the only literate person on the planet. Then I wake up from my dream-state and discover to my horror that it’s true.

From a reply to a blog entry about the VW car-crash commercial:

"Very true, but to have to be reminded of lose during a time of morning over . . . and over . . . and over by sensationalized media is tackless"
