i'm going to take this oportunity to ask if americans spell 'lose' as in, to lose something, as 'loose', because I always read 'loose' as the opposite of tight. whenever I read 'looser' it makes me think of someone who goes around undoing things..

yes ive noticed that too, its loser, but when people go "you are a looser" im like "looser than what" at least on the internets.
Hell, I even had a school teacher who spelled "lose" as "loose" ... fortunately not an English teacher (the subject, that is - the teacher was English)... but still!
When I first saw this I thought it was going to be another monthly rant about the use of "AOL language" and the whole I can't be arsed to check the spelling of ths word....especially so as it happens to be rick that started the topic .
Anyway Pior just to reiterate, Why are you not doing this thing we call game art and stuff for a living???.....also im slightly concerned by your attraction to british horses. Also on a curious note,where does american horses come in to your list of attractive horses?.

Yet I have to admit your horses have a certain kind of appeal.
Pior's English is better than my french. But I bet I'd be better at picking up wimmen.

"lose" - failing to achieve victory
"looser" - increased lack of tightness
"loser" - absence of victory; not the "WIN!"
