When you lost something in present tense, you lose it.

Loose is the opposite of tight

you lose things, but, in certain contexts, you can also let loose things.

Or the fact that double-O makes the correct sound...

I'm fairly forgiving of people who swap lose/loose in a typed context, since it's an easy typo to make. It's the people who use "of" as their auxiliary "verb" when forming the present perfect that makes me facepalm. That shit is inexcusable.

to be fair, 've does sound very close to of when pronounced. yeah, they should've learned better, but you could've cut them a little slack.
