I've seen a lot of people mix up the words "lose" and "loose", mainly referring to people who try to say "you're going to lose" but instead they write loose. This is with both native english speakers and non-native speakers. Anyone else notice this?

No, and I don't think it's common enough or that important it needs a thread.

Yes I have noticed this. 👍

I've noticed it on social media and it can be annoying to read sometimes. I've seen a lot of Indian posters who will say "live" instead of "life", like "the worst day of my live" so sometimes it can be a cultural thing as opposed to laziness maybe.

The difference in spelling lose or loose is an o, which has nothing to do with the difference in pronunciation.
Maybe people don't care to correct what is not pointed out by autocorrect lol!
You never know🤣🤣🤣

I posted this after seeing it back to back on two different ebook threads.

It's pretty much just a typo. Lose and Loose have two different meanings.

I've noticed it, and I'll admit that I also fuck this up from time to time.
