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?

Google suggest another one
I am not so fluent so I can understand if only 1/3 "loose" must be kept
Just comment thanks
