lol I started a thread about this too a few months ago. I swear, I see this mistake so often in the Bitcoin community, I'm starting to wonder if the spelling of "lose" has been officially changed since I left school?

Back in my day, lose/loose was essential criteria for passing 2nd grade spelling. They don't even sound the same, which makes the prevalence even more baffling to me.

edit: and you can't blame this on non-native speakers. they seem to get it right, but it's the mouth breathers on here who were born in the US or other English speaking countries that seem to screw it up all the time.
