In this lesson and video we're looking at two commonly misused words - lose and loose.
Drop the 'e' with ing = losing
"I'm losing my mind."

Joanne, you do such a fine job in clearly explaining this for people who have trouble with this. You used plenty of examples, and your quiz is perfect. You must be an educator. I could listen to your voice all day long. Thanks for creating these videos. I come across spelling and grammar mistakes online and in books all the time, and it's one of my pet peeves. I have saved the URL address of your video, so that I can display your video link if I see others who could use a quick "refresher" in word usage. Cheers from a Yank across the Pond. Roger Pierce
