Also why do people use loose when they mean lose 98% of the time on the Internet. That never happened before then, we were taught the difference.

This rant brought to you by the letters A, C, and F.
Also see a lot of "busses" (vs. the correct buses), "lightening" (uh, lightning) and I have a personal pet peeve against using "predominate" instead of predominant as an adjective.
