Duff_Man Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 Do you have something against the word "loss"? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member SalvorMallow Posted February 6, 2016 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 These threads about Cousins in homecourt are really getting tiring. This nonsense should be in "Around the NBA". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its YOU that can't read the Queen's English: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/loss Full Definition of loss : a person or thing or an amount that is lost: http://www.myenglishteacher.eu/question/difference-between-loose-lose-loss-and-lost/ Lost – is past tense of the verb ‘lose ( the game has already been LOST) Loss – is a noun. The fact or process of losing something or someone ( the team hasnt LOST YET) Edited February 6, 2016 by Hawkmoor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact or process of losing something or someone ( the team hasnt LOST YET) Please don't quote one out of 10 definitions of loss and use that as the basis of a broken argument. Quote 4 a : failure to gain, win, obtain, or utilize http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/loss So a loss represents a failure to win, i.e. "In this loss" where loss refers to an instance when the team failed to win. Lost is a verb, and in your sentence, you were not describing the act of losing, you were describing an instance of said failure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
