Why do people always type the word loose when they mean lose? There a change I dont know about?

Question

I see it mostly from young Obama supporters that dont make much sense anyway, but is our education system really that bad? Or is it a testament to the majority of idiots posting on this forum? These people vote.

Answer 1

You just showed your ignorance at the moment you typed this in education ,lets talk about wisdom where is yours it should have played  a part in you deciding to post this silly question get yourself some buddy oh yeah never make a mistake !!!!

Answer 2

same as choose and chose. yes, mostly Obama libs. Heck I even had one respond to a question who thought Palin did a poor job speaking at the DNC !! How miserably informed are these people anyway???

Answer 3

Well, many people type fast and then send. They do not check their work.

It is the same as people saying "I checked my work, and their are no errors" LOL

Also, spell check does not catch grammar.

Answer 4

They love the O.

They Overuse the O.

The O also equals zerO

Answer 5

because it doesn't come up on the spell checker, and people do make typos....

Answer 6

<Jung> Maybe the extra O in "lose" is for Obama. </Jung>

Answer 7

That just goes to show you how uneducated the people are that will be voting for obama bin biden!  The most dangerous person in the USA is an uneducated voter!

Answer 8

They are typing fast and they may choose the wrong word accidentally in spell check.  This is not the grammar & spelling forum.  This is politics.  Just the idea that young & old are interested in the politics should cause hope instead of criticism.

Answer 9

Too bad your ignorant and don't know how to use an apostrophe.

Answer 10

N00B

Answer 11

That is not the only spelling discrepancy I see, and there are many scattered through the entire population.

Or, in the example you used a Freudian slip.

Answer 12

Answer 20

It's an internet tradition.

Answer 21

Public education.

Answer 22

It's not only the young Obamaites. This evidence of our extremely poor public schooling is rampant throughout the country.

Such bewilderments are found in network newscasts, e.g., the use of the non-word "snuck", in the AP wire, & etc.

I will admit that mine is also not 'the queen's English', but I _do_ know better than to be loose with vocabulary when I lose something and I sneaked 'snuck' out of my usage when I was about 10 years old.
