Sorry if it sounded like I was singling you out; but I have noticed lately, even in MSM publications that there is a great tendency to use loose for lose and to use lead for led and I can't figure out why.

I'm a natural speed reader and it brings me up short every time I encounter one of these potholes in the language.

Have a good day.
