Loose does not mean lose.
Formerly does not mean formally.
Peak means neither pique nor peek.
Site does not mean sight.
Conversate is not a word. Try "converse".
And how the heck did "called her out of her name" happen? Why the weird construction? The person from whom I heard it was being formal, and was very careful to enunciate the "of", as if that made it more proper.

Word problems/ riddles/ whatever you want to call them/ are what makes me love English... they are so what make my students hate English.
I kind of like conversatin'.
The one that freaks me out is "I feel you."
