From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/loose Definition of LOOSE transitive verb 1a: to let loose (see 1 loose): release b: to free from restraint 2: to make loose : untie <loose a knot> 3: to cast loose : detach 4: to let fly : discharge 5: to make less rigid, tight, or strict : relax intransitive verb : to let fly a missile (as an arrow) : fire See also http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lose Coming attractions: "then" and "than" :-( (Aside: Of the few languages I know, English is by far the most idiosyncratic, anti-systemic, and downright perverse. Toddlers' brains are said to be "wired" for learning language; an adult whose wiring has fallen away and who yet manages to learn English, even imperfectly, has my admiration and no little of my awe.) -- Eric Sosman esosman@comcast-dot-net.invalid
