-------------------^^^^^
You can look it up, internet and email have revised the English
language such that the term "loose" no longer means "not tight"
but means the same as "lose" as in "lost". Another
common net term is the completely fabricated single word "alot"
meaning "a lot" or "many".
These terms are not typos but learned net behavior. The studies
make for some interesting reading.
