    There’s also loose and they sound the same but mean different things.

    Loose is when your pants is too wide.

    Lose is when the pants were so wide that you lost them.

      Lucy’s loose legwear lost latitude, leisurely lowering, leaving Lucy’s legs largely liberated. Lamentably, Lucy’s lost leggings landed listlessly, loitering lifelessly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

      Man looking a thesaurus is fun Lol

        Interesting, I didn’t know that. FYI, there’s the phonetic transcription that saves us from using other words to describe a pronunciation.

        luːz - lose

        luːs - loose
