I'm trying to understand the definitions of lose, loose, chose and choose. Are the definitions different between the UK and USA?
I know them as
Lose {Have something taken away or lost}
Loose {Not firmly attached}
Chose {Past tense of Choose}
Choose {Decide from among a collection of objects / make a deliberate decision}
I see the misuse of these words often based on my perception of their definitions
