I try to do it humorously. How to remember which is which? Good
question; I suppose think of loose as related to the adjective - a loose
thread, catch, etc. is something that might release or come undone;
therefore the verb loose (as in "loose the dogs on him!") is also to do
with releasing something, whereas lose meaning misplace isn't. Hope that
helps!
