I am guilty of mis-typing things, so I dont have much room to talk, but for some reason people using those two words wrong really bothers me.

That's my biggest pet peeve concerning grammar - I hardly ever see the word "lose" used correctly. 8 out of 10 times I see people use "loose" (incorrectly) instead. Is it being taught that way now, or isn't anyone paying attention?
