lose can only be a verb.Originally Posted by Killer
loss can only be a noun.
win can be a verb OR a noun.
that's why win can be the opposite of lose or loss.
(you win or you lose, they got another win or another loss)
Jesus did any of you actually make it out of elementary school?
lol only cause our education system blowsOriginally Posted by KDM guy
