    If you know the correct spelling of something why wouldn’t you use it? I mean is there a point in making yourself seem like an idiot..... Lose and loss are different words. That’s why we were taught this kind of stuff in 3rd grade... Just like their, there, and they're... Just because they sound the same and are almost spelled the same doesn’t mean they are the same word...

    lose can only be a verb.
    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?
