It's a Loosing Battle!
Has anyone else noticed that misspelling "losing" as "loosing" is becoming extremely common in the last few years? I don't recall ever seeing this before, perhaps, five or ten years ago, but now I see it all the time.
Or was I just missing this in the past?

Reminds me of a Cheers episode. Norm takie someone to the Hungry Heifer. The guest marvels at the prices
ReplyDelete"Wow, a pound of lobster for a buck!"
"Loobster."
"What?"
"Not lobster, loobster."
"Loobster?"
"It's patented. They make it out of something"
"Oh. I don't want that."
"Try the bef."
I bet it has to do with the difficulty of getting smart phone key boards to believe you when you want loosing instead of losing. Since loosing is a much rarer word, the if there's an auto-correct algorithm in effect it will correct it to losing most of the time.
