-Caveat Lector-
Oh Joshua2....you did it again, and you spell checked of course cannot
hide your lack of knowledge when it comes to proper meaning of a word.
Your one flaw - for often when you use other names and use the word
"loose" for "lose" I can always spot you.
Now "loose" Joshua, is to turn loose the dogs of war.....
Now "lose" is to lose something of value....like Dan Quayle said "the
brain is a terrible thing to lose" was it?
So Joshua instead of trying to teach you one word, I will just print the
meaning of "lose" according to a dictionary - for you above all know,
the mind is a terrible thing, to lose.
