For the Love of Language Part Deux Addendum

That's it.
I've really had it.
I can't stand the disrespect for the English language.
I was driving north on I-35 and I saw an official (presumably) vehicle that was advertising its service.
HERB-O-RAMA
"Loose weight."
That's right. Herbo-o-Rama wants you to contact its service people who will teach you how to LOOSE weight.
And the owners paid money to have this painted on a van.
You LOSE weight. That is the proper verb version of the infinitive "to lose."
"Loose" is an ADJECTIVE.
Can you tell I'm losing my patience?
