On a completely separate note (and this is because of Ivan's comment, but he's far from the only person who does this):

lose = the opposite of win.

loose = the opposite of tight.

Edit: Didn't notice this the first time, but Ivan seems to be quoting someone. I'm too lazy to look back to see who, but if he is quoting someone, the incorrect usage was not Ivan's. I'm sure no one cares either way, but I felt the need to correct this, anyway.
