You've apparently lost the ability to discern the difference between "loose" and "lose."

😁

This malapropism is spreading through the English language, and in a few more years the change in meaning of "loose" will be complete.

It drives me fucking crazy to see the wrong word used. Froggystyle would agree.

Loose:

adjective
1. Not firmly or tightly fixed in place; detached or able to be detached.
"a loose tooth"

Lose

verb
1. To be deprived of or cease to have or retain (something).
"I've lost my appetite"

Here are some examples of "loose" in a sentence:

"I need to fix the door because the handle is loose".
"The floorboards are coming loose".
"Peter's belt is loose".
"The rules for swimming at the beach are pretty loose".

Here are some examples of "lose" in a sentence:

"I hope I don't lose him".
"If we lose again, our team will be out of the league".
"Make sure you don't lose your house keys".

Now it's time for my nape.

Mechanics can't spell.

You prolly didn't know that though...

Seems a bit sketchy to me??

As a buyer, or that the airlines sell your stuff? Why do you think it’s sketchy?

Sketchy? Put down the speed pipe Son. Paranoia setting in. Lol

Sounds like some good deals to be had. If there are daily customers that flip the items

Also Sounds like a good business. If the owner just makes 50 cents an item after over head. That's $3500 a day average.

I thought it was because somethings always loose on a Ford.😎

Like the nut behind the wheel? 🤔

You should read the whole article. They are making a shit ton more money than just that!

And to answer your Why question, it's because I read This article a few days ago...

No?
Like something just fell off😂

Fix or repair daily😉

Either something is loose or you lose spark, compression or fuel.
(Note the proper use of the word Lose)😏

I think it’s because the firing order isn’t 18436572😎

I could see it being shady if the air tag showed up at the loosed baggage store a few days later. But like he said a employee probably stole it. Has nothing to do with the store.

I would be mad about the 68k Rolex. Since they only pay out $3800 max. Imagine reading that article knowing it was your watch. Imagine the airline recoups some of the payout money by selling the luggage. But probably still built in to the ticket prices.

Well I'm guessing they don't stay charged forever?

And we both know how hard it is to find good employees...

The whole process seems a bit shady to me.

I left an IPad on the plane in Cabo. Realized it when I got to the resort and called the airline. Of course they "couldn't find it". A month later I do the find my IPad deal and it's last location is at this place in Alabama. I call them and they basically tell me to pound sand.

Storing all that stuff for 90-120 days would take up a lot of space. And I imagine the employees in charge of those areas would be going through it all. Then shipping it to Alabama. Sounds like a big loss for the airlines. Probably be easier to just trash it.

I see this in news articles all the time. Not just lose/loose, but nearly any word(s) that sound alike, but have different spellings (we're/were, their/there/they're, too/to/two, etc). It's epidemic in law enforcement where near illiterate cops write reports and rely on "spell check" that will detect a misspelling, but not misuse. They HATED when I was the one to review their reports. It seems that I'd go through an entire box of red sharpies a month.

This is what happens when they teach "Susie has two Dads" (and they're both pregnant) instead of basic education in the core knowledge skills that one needs to compete in this world. I have SOME hope for the next four years, but beyond that, I just know that the degenerates will double down on the fuckery.

The newest malapropism is reign, which is what a king does. But I see it used constantly when the proper word is rein, as in horses.

The typical misuse is something like "the council was reigned in by the mayor."

That would definitely seem to be a much more "legit" option.

Ask Any warranty administrator at Any dealership, NONE of the mechanics can spell worth a shit!

In our defense though, Most of us Are pretty good at fixing your stuff when it brakes.
