Are our schools really so bad that people think you can loose something? Loose means the opposite of tight. Lose means you can't find something, or got beat in a football game, that kind of stuff. Its kind of funny how many people get it wrong!
Why do so many people mispell "lose"?

My pet peeve is lay/lie. If they don't confuse raise/rise, then why do they confuse lay/lie ? Is it the past tense of that word that confused them ?
You lie down. He lies down. We lie down. You, go lie down. I lay a towel down before I change my tank water. He lays his dead fish in the hole.
A new emerging one is you're/your. I think people are reading fewer books but more online typos by others that the typos start looking and sounding normal to them.
I dread the day when all these bad grammar & typos will be accepted as mainstream and recognized in Webster. See what happened to nu-ku-ler ?
