This is way way off topic but it has been really bothering me lately: Why do so many people misspell "losing"? In the wrap up of the OP:
>The federated distributed marketplace will be much more difficult to shut down. And even in the case of shut down, no one is loosing their money.
I have been seeing this everywhere lately and someone even tried to argue with me that I was misspelling it. Why is this such a common screw up? Lose only has one o as does lost. I see no plausible explanation.
- bookface 13y agoSounds to me like you're being intentionally daft. It's pretty easy to see that the /uː/ sound is associated with "oo" way more commonly than "o".

- goshakkk 13y agoIt's one of only a few words that I keep misspelling over and over again. But why post a comment dedicated solely to proper spelling of "lose" and wondering why so many people misspell it? What's the point? If anything, you could submit a PR or just say "hey, there is a typo". (Fixed now.)
