Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.

Eye strike a quay and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
It's rare lea ever wrong.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
It's letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

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.
Actually you are incorrect, Chuck Norris changed the spelling of lose to loose after making a spelling mistake, Chuck Norris doesn't use a spellcheck, if he accidently spells a word incorrectly he finds it easier to change the spelling of that word. I can't tell you how many idiots there are that do not know this.

It's a popular and well known fact that cats enjoy chasing their own tails from time to time (or is that dogs). May I conclude that this is the linguistic version of the same behaviour? Bestove on the cat linguistic intelligence and enjoy the show as it begins to chase its own grammar around.
