I think loose / lose is an easy mistake to make. It's definitely forgivable among grammar crimes lol.

Lots of people are simply not good enough at english or care enough to correct their mistakes.
With that said, it sure is annoying to read.

I can get people confusing your and you're because they sound alike when spoken, along with their/there/they're, but lose and loose don't even sound alike. and the meanings are completely different. so how is it easy to confuse. I just don't get it, man. and I swear this wasn't a widespread problem until a few years ago. I used to rarely notice it online. and then, maybe four or five years ago, it seems that everyone agreed to start screwing it up. is it something in the water? some kind of chemical children were exposed to in the immediate years preceding/following Y2K? |

I think it's called the youth of today that expect spell checks to correct everything for them ( note that it won't notice if you type loose instead of lose as it's not technically spelled wrong ) / the education system failing in the world's former leading countries. |

There is often confusion over the words loose and lose. This is due to the lack of consistency in pronouncing words that end oose and ose.
Loose means not tight or free from constraint.
To lose means to fail to: (1) keep (2) win or (3) make money.

the people who frequently makes this mistakes makes my grammar nazi senses tingling...
is it really hard to remember how to use words like "your" and "you're".
and "lose" and "loose" are way more different it's easy to tell how you would you it in a sentence..

I think that the people spelling it with oose are spelling phonetically, they assume the long "o" needs to be spelled longer, so to speak. It's not a lack of understanding of the meaning. Same reason I keep seeing "proove" lately. I don't have any problem with how a non-native speaker writes, at least they are trying. But for native speakers, this is inexcusable as I wouldn't have passed 6th grade spelling like that. Loose and proove all over the place here, whats next? All this is gonna put me in an early TOOMB |

Dude you think that's bad, check out some of randomlove's posts. A particularly memorable one was "neivity" which he then tried to blame on "typing on his mobile." Right, I can totally see how that could happen.

it's a typo I guess there's a difference between a typo and simply not knowing the difference between the two. |

And every time you did a grammar nazi somewhere in the world almost ripped his eyes out in sheer frustration. |

I get annoyed when people belittle each other and correct every single tiny mistake, or when they try to use the other person's (minor) errors as an entire basis for a rebuttal of their points. However, when your entire post looks like a 3-year-old on peyote wrote it, then you have a problem and cannot expect to be taken seriously.

If no one ever corrects it, people view it as correct, use it themselves, and it spreads. |
