Do you have something against the word "loss"?

 

Maybe its YOU that can't read the Queen's English:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/loss

 

Full Definition of loss

 

:  a person or thing or an amount that is lost

 

 

http://www.myenglishteacher.eu/question/difference-between-loose-lose-loss-and-lost/

Lost – is past tense of the verb ‘lose  ( the game has already been LOST)

 

Loss – is a noun. The fact or process of losing something or someone  ( the team hasnt LOST YET)

Please don't quote one out of 10 definitions of loss and use that as the basis of a broken argument.

4 a :  failure to gain, win, obtain, or utilize

So a loss represents a failure to win, i.e.  "In this loss" where loss refers to an instance when the team failed to win.

Lost is a verb, and in your sentence, you were not describing the act of losing, you were describing an instance of said failure.

Exactly.  I wasnt describing the act of losing, i described an INSTANCE of said failure,  just like  you posted above.................... 

No matter how you slice it...............I was right.............

How could a verb represent an instance of something?  That makes no sense.
