The all too frequent (apparent)confusion between "loose" and "lose" just kills me when I see it.

A good mnemonic is "'Loose shoes'; lose job".

That mnemonic is a good one and should be helpful to those confused by the two words. My approach to good spelling is different: I simply read published authors and in the process I pay close attention to the spelling of words in context, and then I memorize that spelling.
