In common usage both assume and presume can mean ‘suppose’ and are often interchangeable in this meaning. However, technically there is a subtle difference between the two where presume is to ‘suppose to be the case on the basis of probability’: Two of the journalists went missing and are presumed dead. Assume on the other hand is to ‘suppose to be the case without proof’: I just assumed it to be the case. Both words also share other meanings that can be summarised as ‘to take on oneself’. In this sense assume is generally used to describe taking on a role: I assumed the role of the aggressor in the conversation. Whereas presume is generally used when taking on an attitude: He had presumed too great a level of familiarity.

Lose vs. Loose When people mix up "lose" and "loose," it's usually just because they're spelled so similarly. They know their definitions are completely different. According to Merriam-Webster, "lose" is a verb that means "to be unable to find (something or someone), to fail to win (a game, contest, etc.), or to fail to keep or hold (something wanted or valued)." It's like losing your keys or losing a football match. "Loose" is an adjective that means "not tightly fastened, attached, or held," like loose clothing or a loose tooth. A trick for remembering the difference is to think of the term "loosey-goosey" -- both of those words are spelled with two o's.

A common #mistake is to write the word of instead of have or the contraction 've: I could of told you that. instead of: I could have told you that. or alternatively: I could’ve told you that. The reason for the mistake is that the pronunciation of have in unstressed contexts is the same as that of of, and the two words are confused when it comes to writing them down. The error was recorded as early as 1837 and, though common, is usually considered unacceptable in Standard English.
