Why is everybody starting to spell "lose" wrong?

Question

Everybody writes "loose", however, "loose" is an adjective meaning "not tight". The verb "lose" however is not spelled "loose" (even though "loose" can also be a verb). It's incredible how much I see it these days. It's really irritating.

Answer 5

All of the above is correct.  In addition, I think it's caused in part at least by IM and texting jargon.  

Answer 6

While you are at it, get on them for the inability to distinguish between "there", "their", and "they're" as well as "your" and "you're".

Answer 7

now when you say lose, you mean not win?

Answer 8

The confusion between lose and loose is not new. It's been around a lot longer than the internet and text messaging and all that. Yes it is very annoying. I find the your / you're thing is infinitely more infuriating, however.

Answer 9

Don't looze any sleep over it!
