This must be the most misspelled (I admit, I googled that to make sure it was right...) word on the Internet today. What is it about this word that makes everybody and their cat spell it wrong?

Looser isn't even pronounced the same... god!!

K, I'm through ranting... whew!

There is very little correlation between the spelling and the pronunciation of the word loser. People tend not to remember things that don't make logical sense. Ideally loser should be spelled loozer and looser should be spelled the way it is. As it is spelled now loser should be pronounced low sir or something of the sort. This is an explanation of why people have difficulty remembering how to spell loser. Is that what you wanted or did you just want to rant about one of your pet peeves? If it's pet peeves you want I can give you a rant on people who say "between you and I."

Loser wasn't the problem for me...

I had to think about the word "misspellings"!

No, that's right: It's spelled "loser" anything else has to be wrong.

One of the biggest misspellings I've seen is the misuse of: their, there or they're.
