And how could I have forgotten?

"Lose": misplace, be deprived of, cease to possess
"Loose": free from restraint, unconstrained, not tight

I see this in at least 10% of the stories I read. Double check. Tell your betas to double check. Do a "find" on both and make sure each is used correctly.

Finally figured out how to unscreen this.

At the risk of inappropriately bringing politics into this, I want the entire WH press corps to wear these one day.

Please forgive my ignorance: In your post, the sentence "Do a "find" on both and make sure each are used correctly.", why is it "make sure each are" and not "each is"?

You are, of course, absolutely correct. I shall edit the post.
