You forgot “they’re” in the “there”, “their”, they’re usage roulette.

Since this is a gripe thread I have to say that the use of “loose” instead of “lose” occurs so often that I think its purposely used just to yank grammarian’s chains.

I understand the misuse of “hugh” and “series” but in otherwise “straight” posts the use of “loose” instead of “lose” seems unintentional and thus a common mistake.

Just sayin’ ... ;-)

You’re right.

They’re many different uses of words that sounds like “there”. Their meanings are sometimes confusing.

Oh - I agree. I almost lose my mind when posters play fast and loose with those two words!
