What are you talking about? I never said anything about you misspelling the word "lose". I was correcting the complete cock-up that you'd made of a parenthetical sentence. \/\/\/

Since the parentheses are not actually in a sentence, "also" needs to be capitalized (not to mention that it needs a comma), and you also neglected to use punctuation at the end. Cock-up.

He does capitalize it. Check the journal section. Oh, and you should have used a comma before "for instance". I shall beat you into the dirt, Trollheart, just like I did to DwnWthVwls.

I forget whether or not I've already crushed your spirit, so I'm going to Grammar Nazi you anyway. I've seen "hop hop" written with a space, or with a hyphen, but never without either one or the other. I'm also going to say that you need a comma in-between "to" and "but" in your third sentence.
I just crushed two turds with one post. Taste it.
