I had a college educated gf that didn't know the difference between won't and want. To her the word won't didn't even exist. She used want in the place of it. I tried to explain it to her over and over but she couldn't ever get it.

I have noticed that many people are using the word "loose" instead of "lose".

First lets tackle "lose".
If you lose something it's gone or dead.  eg. If you guys don't quite using "loose" instead of "lose" I'm gonna lose my mind!

Second lets take on the word "loose".
When you loose something, you release it.  When you guys loose a plant I'm left wondering who you dropped it on.
If something is loose it is not attached. eg. The loose end of the rope was dangling in the water.

Kapish??

eg. If you guys don't quite using "loose" instead of "lose" I'm gonna lose my mind!

  Hey BCK, you used the word quite incorrectly!!! I mean it was quite nice of you to state your opinion, but you can't seem to quit using words incorrectly!

I liked him on Newsradio.

So... all this time folks were writing 'loose' for 'lose' and they weren't typos? Hey... how about mixing up 'affect' and 'effect'?

And then there's D. capensis....

@NJnewbie
as per the Mirriam-Webster online dictionary, "lose" when used as an intransitive verb:
1 : to lose touch with reality; also : to go crazy
