Sorry, we're changing that.
The only question is whether we (proponents of gender-nonspecific and plural-nonspecific "they") will beat them (people who misspell "lose" as "loose" — remember, it only takes a simple majority[1] (and a bit of time for people to get used to it) to change the language(!)).
