It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking

'Choose' rhymes with 'lose'? I mean c'mon, someone did that shit on purpose đź‘€

May as well combine words with the same pronunciation into one word and call it Simplified English (/s)
Honestly tho, this is one of the features of Simplified Chinese, which created the infamous "fuck vegetables" (干菜类).
It's meant to say "dried vegetables" (乾菜類 in TC), but 乾→干. Meanwhile, there exists 幹→干 as well, which means "fuck".
So this is where I find cucumber?
Fuck as in curse or as an action?
Used in this context? Action. But it can mean both.
Even better :D
