loosing stuff

Yeah, as you can see I've posted about this before. Don't get me wrong, this wasn't directed toward any one individual. It just amazes me how many people misuse that word repeatedly. I don't know if it shows the state of our country's educational system, or if people just type poorly. I could understand it if it was someone who was just learning English, but I'm pretty sure most of us learned to spell lose and loose in about the 1st grade.

Go for it. It's a modification of " all typos are intentional to give nitpickers something to do" from a publication I read years ago.

I think it reflects both issues. I admit that it drives me crazy, too. (actually, for me it's less of a drive and more like a short walk) ;-)
