Whilst you're at it....
The commas you have inserted in each instance of 'as in' should not be there.

More common, though, is 'loose' instead of 'lose'.

I find that a worrying amount of people use your in place of you're. It's both incredibly fucking annoying and terrifying - the person who's about to slice chunks out of my mother (surgeon), who's been through a good decade of intense training, doesn't know something I learned when I was seven.

Yes...
I'm glad the person who's going to slice chunks out of your mother *is* a surgeon!
