Some people lack the ability to spell, some people can't be bothered, some people do it deliberately to be annoying.
Correcting any of those three types of people won't achieve anything.
Feel free to correct my spelling, I work at it, but I'm rubbish. I often use spellcheck, but that doesn't help if you've typed the wrong word correctly.

Superior academic and linguistic knowledge does not make a superior person, and it should not be used to bash and belittle people.
If one has learning one should wear it lightly.
I would agree, but we're hardly talking about a doctorate in language here. Everyone goes to primary school. I refuse to believe, given its profligacy, that everyone who uses "loose" incorrectly does so through having a learning difficulty, unless you count lazy stupidity as such a condition.If one has learning one should wear it lightly.

Lose and Loose I can forgive, brought and bought, I cannot.

When did lose/loose start to happen? I never noticed this level of idiocy 15 years ago.How does that even happen? Are these idiots also saying it wrong in conversation?
Unbelievable.
