I do have a question about UK vs US english that I've noticed elsewhere. I've seen people (not in this fandom, thankfully) that seem to use "loose" instead of "lose". "Loose the race" or "Loose the keys". I noticed that dictionary.com said it was an acceptable variation of "lose", but it still annoys the heck out of me. So, for those UK'ers, which one is more acceptable on your side of the pond?
