OK means only the first one?

Sorry, I didn't understand the question at first. I thought you were saying it had to be kept as is.
Yes all three "loose" are wrong.

I understand now, but the first one is not detetected by Google translation
I hope the change will statisfy both english and american people
Remember Jon is english

Ok, I understand what you meant now. I'm not familiar with English meanings, but a google search came up with the same meaning as I understand "Loose" here in Canada.
Loose = to have a loose tooth
Lose = to lose the tooth. (It falls out)
And as far as I know American English's meaning is the same.

Maybe it would be best to move this to the forum post, and get some opinions and input from others?
