Actually it's not a spelling issue. Loose and lose are both correctly spelled. It's a usage or grammar issue.0 -

Yup, it drives me crazy too. I do understand that some of us have English as a second language, but it still bugs me. Also, I'm pretty sure that lots of those people have English as a first language..... But one doesn't dare correct anyone or make a joke of it or it violates the site rules. I'm already licking my wounds from one reprimand; I don't want to risk another. LOL0

True.
But I do believe it may assist in reducing apostrophe abuse.0 -
