    Loosing out to lhamas who cant "afford" $50 for your product sucks.

    I am uncertain how one would go about "letting loose or releasing" out to lhamas. I suspect you intended to use the phrase "losing out".

    and then I was loosing auctions in the 700$ range.

    I am uncertain how one would "let loose or release" an auction, unless perhaps you owned it. It seems more likely that you were failing to win auctions. The word you were looking for is losing.

    Sun is loosing a great deal of business recently due to the introduction of Linux into the server market.

    I find that unlikely. I think Sun's stockholders would be very upset if Sun were actually "letting loose or releasing" business. However, it could be argued that Sun is failing to retain business due to Linux deployment. The word you were looking for is losing.

    KDE Myth: Gnome is loosing, its dead, just use KDE.

    What, exactly, would Gnome be "letting loose or releasing?" I'm afraid this statement makes no sense. Perhaps you meant to dispel the myth that Gnome is failing to win (whatever that means). If so, the word you were looking for was losing.

    I'm afraid you lost me here. What, exactly, would another show "let loose or release"? I would say that another show could fail to win in a ratings competition, but that is clearly not what you are saying here. If that were your meaning, I'm sure you would have used the word lose.

    Ignoring for the moment the many other issues I have with your post, this verb simply makes no sense here. "If you can't keep the hype up, you let loose or release..." what, exactly? Or perhaps you were looking for the word lose, indicating a failure to win.

    I find it unlikely that these students would go around "letting loose or releasing" their net connection just because of some benign weather phenomenon. On the other hand, I suppose fog could cause the students to fail to retain an IR link. The word you were looking for is losing.

    For future reference, there is a slight difference in the pronunciation here:

    • The 's' in "lose" sounds much like the 's' in your "lesen" (auf Deutch). More of a 'z' sound.
