I find it annoying when people use the word "loose" when the correct word should be "lose." i.e. "Jealousy is one of the major reasons people might loose their spouses." I read this grammatical error every day. Oddly enough, I rarely read this error in the reverse.

I think it's astonishing such a huge number of people think lose is spelled loose and I wonder why it is that way? Since it happens so often, maybe they see it spelled loose and their belief is reinforced...or something like that.
I just received an email message from Pinterest with this title:
Hangry crowd? Solution: These recipes—just in time for Labor Day (phew)
Just a typo, obviously, but you'd think someone at Pinterest would proofread it before sending it to tens of thousands of people.

Hangry is a portmanteau combining the words hungry and angry.
I am not saying it is right, there are few pormanteaux I like, but I have heard it used before. It was explained to me as describing the phenomenon of being so hungry you become angry.
A simple google search of the word comes up with mugs and t-shirts emblazoned with the term as well as plentiful references to it including some negative editorials on its existence. And the science behind the validity of its sentiment.
That's why I never wear flip-flops. They kill my feet!
