vfactor:



not necessarily true! they are different words with different meanings. Just that people confuse one for the other, and not necessarily misspell it.

Loose = to untie, or set free. not firmly fixed. could also mean not strictly organized or controlled

Lose = unable to find something. opposite of gain. defeat
Okay

Jonwesley:


except when...... what? Please this your sentence does not make any meaning. Check again.

which part is difficult to understand? the part where I said "i" comes before "e", except when preceded by "c"?


it means when spelling words with "i-e", "i" usually comes before "e". but when there is a "c", you put the "e" before the "i".

e.g. Believe and Receive. Notice that the position of "i-e" in both words.


Next time, say you don't understand
