Did anyone happen to see Fox News today with Brian Wilson?

[RebelOne]

He was reporting on the Vegas pawn shop sniper who shot the judge. Well, the banner on the bottom said that he was "still on the loose." Talk about bad grammar!!! After about 5 minutes, it was corrected to "lose." But e-mailed Fox and said, "Still on the loose?" What kind of idiots are in your news room? I'm glad to see that someone with knowledge of grammar finally corrected it."

1. Well isn't 'loose' the correct term for that saying? Not lose, as in don't

lose your lunch money. It's loose, as in free.

[Kerry fan]

2. You sure loose wasn't correct?

Lose means to lose something.

7. This is completely off topic, but it reminds me of a "homemade"

tattoo that a former neighbor of mine had prominently displayed on his arm:

"BORN TOO LOOSE"

[salin]

12. bwahahahaha

too funny!

[bobbolink]

15. Was your neighbor that famous painter.....

Too Loose Lautrec?

;-)

[JesterCS]

3. Spelling?

i thought loose was the correct spelling and lose was as in " lost something ", at least thats the english I know

[thinkingwoman]

4. That's bassackwards

On the loose is correct. On the lose is wrong.

5. UMMM

Bad grammar??? Are you sure you know what you're talking about?

[RebelOne]

6. Oops, I made a boo-boo. Loose is correct.

I am so used to seeing people use loose for lose that it just triggered something. Oh well, Fox won't reply to me anyway.

9. Wait, you may still have a complaint...

...i.e., if Faux News actually told you the shooting happened in Las Vegas.

It happened in Reno.

Sign me,

Anita Loos(e)

19. that's ok

when I read the OP of this thread, I thought it looked wrong too!

[Scribe]

8. Spell it L-A-M . When in doubt, use another word .

[AlCzervik]

10. in Vegas you "Lose" money, and you're left with "Loose change"

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Or if you find a "loose" woman, you'll "lose " your wife...........

[Poiuyt]

13. I thought this thread was about the Beach Boys

[Smarmie Doofus]

14. Sorry, no refunds.

You loose your $$$$.

[Jeanette in FL]

16. So did I

We are showing our age. When I saw Brian Wilson in the heading, the first thing I thought of was the Beach Boys. At least it proves that we don't watch Fox News.

[lpbk2713]

17. The Beach Boys are doing Faux News now?

Surf's up! Film at eleven.

[Poiuyt]

18. Dude! So there's this gnarly war going on...

[Jazzgirl]

20. I believe "loose" is the correct word.

[Bluebear]

21. "LOSE" would be the correct spelling.

I just consulted the freeper dictionary and despite your earlier retraction, you are correct. FOX news spelled it correctly entirely by accident. ;)
