Maybe that is because English is your mother language.
I'm already glad if I can make you understand me.
That's with or without typo's or grammar faults. 😛
But your user name of "Loose Screw" indicates that you know the difference better than many native English speakers.

I can't tell you how many idiots there are out there who make this mistake.
To get beaten at a game of chess is to "lose" the game. Not loose.
When your pants fall down it's because they're too "loose."
That, my friends, is the difference between "lose" and "loose." Get it right.

boose - bose (I know, I know... that indian physicist)
goose - gose
choose - chose (uhm... present/past... right?)
snooze - snoze
loom - lom (the programming language doesn't count because I say so)
boom - bom (yes, this works - ssssss)
So, at least two new words were invented by me right here (I think), and I also think that bose and lom should be considered free words since one is a name and the other an antique programming language hardly in use anymore. So, what meaning shall we give to these new words people? 🙂
The words are (in case you missed it):
boze
gose
snoze
lom

Originally posted by Loose Screw"Too" can mean "also" or "as well", as in "me too". It can also mean something like "overly", as in "too big", "too much", "too loose". "To" is used with the infinitive, e.g. "to lose", and it's used as a preposition, e.g. "to go to a place".
btw could you explain to me when I have to use "to" or "too" in a sentance.
