Spelling is bad and getting worse. It started really sliding in the 1980's with the phonetically pronounced stores such as Kwik Trip and EZ shop. Spelling and grammar give way to ease in our growing "print" documentation. Specifically I'm referring to email and text messaging. Many people don't use the spell check before they send an email. I believe this is due to the informal feel compared to writing a letter and seeing the whole paper as a fluent document.
Text messaging has taken the hardest toll on spelling and punctuation. It's much easier and tempting to make non standard abbreviations, and extra spaces instead of scrolling through to find appropriate punctuation choices. Again I say, spelling is bad and it's only going to get worse.

On right here, maximum persons can not spell or construct sentences that are even on the point of creating experience. although, look at the position you're. For more advantageous or worse, Yahoo solutions is a mixture of each and anybody in society who has get admission to to a pc. some have had adverse preparation, some have continuously had a difficult time spelling, others do not care, and some make a mistake and this is too previous by way of regulate it. in my opinion, i am going to't stand misspellings because i'm a copywriter for an ad organization and this is component to my pastime to be choosy about it. although, I do hit upon a lot of human beings mostly are careless even as it is composed of writing and it somewhat has become a lost artwork. Oh, and please do not say "Blame the instructors/educators." human beings favor to take responsibility for themselves. it is your existence, your spelling. Educators can not carry your hand for the finished existence. They probably helped as a lot as they could, this is only a lot of human beings become lazy even as it is composed of writing and each and each and anybody is continuously searching responsible somebody else for his or her issues.

I think when people first think of or look at
the words "lose" and "loose,"
they more strongly associate "lose" with "lost" which
is not the long vowel sound they are looking for.
But "loose" (because it is pronounced "loo-s") at first glance
would appear to be closer to the target word pronounced "loo-z."
Note: This question has been asked repeatedly in Yahoo. If you look at the other answers, they post other common misspellings.
But please search next time, before you ask, to avoid spam.

If its on the Internet or text message then most people just don't care. They are just trying to type something as fast as they can and don't bother to spell check. If its in any other form then they are just illiterate. Just like supposedly being pronounced as supposably. So irritating.

I don't think it's a fad, but spelling "their" instead of "there" may be one..LOL

No its bad spelling. Lose - when you lose something and loose - when your shoe lace is loose.
