well maybe because they are typing really fast and they don't spell check. |

Most people I see use lose when they should use loose. They are two different words and a spell checker will not catch it. |
|
grrr
|
ugh I know exactly what you mean...it's the same reason people mix up "there," "their," and "they're," along with "then" and "than." It's just so aggravating....It's really not that hard! Pick up a book once in a blue moon! |

Actually, both spellings are correct, they just have different meanings, which some people who cannot spell are apparently not aware of.
Lose- to misplace something (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/lose)
Loose- not tight (http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/loose)
We all wish people would keep those words straight, don't we? |

I am bugged by this as well. I don't know what the thought processes behind this are. If there are any...
I love it here in Minnesota where it is common to hear someone say "Can you borrow me ten dollars?" What, the other verb in this transaction isn't good enough? |

"Lose" and "loose" are both words so they don't pop up as misspelled by spellcheckers. It makes it harder for the poor spellers who use automated spellchecking to fix their errors. |

They're the same folks who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're," or "there," "their" and "they're." You're bound to meet most of them on your favorite question and answer site. They're all there, bashing the hell out of their language. |

I don't know whether it's all-pervasive laziness or lack of concern. It could also be lack of education. I often type "their" when I mean to use "there", but I correct it as soon as I notice the error. I just type too fast sometimes.
What really bugs me is the use of "and" in place of "to".
"Will you try and come over tonight?" This assumes that the attempt will be successful before the attempt is made, thereby placing the burden of a positive outcome on the person being asked. "I will try and make it." This promises that you will be there, not that you will try. |

Because they are loose with their grammar? |

|

Whatever it is, it also causes them to write "a lot" as "alot". |
