All the people typing "loose" when they mean "lose". Shit's been happening a lot for the past year or two and I don't know why.

It's just the natural evolution of language. Rules become loser over time

Some rules weaken, and others are created or subtly change - that's why parents can never get their kids' slang quite right. It's not that the parents can't simply weaken their grammar, it's that the kids do some things differently with very strict rules.

Literally this

It's been happening a lot longer than that, that's a classic misspelling.

Thank you for writing 'a lot' and not 'alot'.

Shit’s been happening a lot

Butthole must be loose.

Because phonetically, it's "loos" vs "looz". And people don't care enough to know or apply the difference.
