Lose vs Loose

I think people often get stuck between the way the word sounds and its spelling. Lose turns into ‘Loose’ because of how the ‘o’ sounds phonetically.

I’ve never heard ‘loose’ used in that context conversationally, so they must believe they are saying ‘lose’.

Used in a libelous sentence:
TheBird should be extra careful as to not “lose” his anal beads within his “loose” and cavernous anal cavity.

I see misuse of ‘course’ and ‘coarse’ often too

Oh okay my bad

I really don’t understand how you can get these things wrong in your mother tongue. Was it better before spell check software?

I think The Internet has played a major role.

People on the Internet generally do not bother to fix spelling errors or syntax.
