For sure! But I can't think like that, because if I do I will be too much comfortable and stop trying to improve it. I also sell some simple software overseas and, for doing business, if you have a bad grammar or a poor vocabulary, you loose points in the price negotiation. The other part can feel like they are negotiating with a hick. Furthermore, everything you write on web will be technically forever, you need to delight the readers and poor English can annoy them, as I've already commented.

loose => lose. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/loose http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/loose http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lose http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lose This is a common error for the natives as well so don't feel bad about it. [Edit: I a word]

  It often seems like most use on Hacker News gets this wrong (so it isn't surprising people pick up bad habits when learning English) and I regularly have to resist my inner pedant. If the screw is too loose it could fall off and you might lose it.
