yup I saw the typo myself earlier.

I am quite a good speller actually, so do know that it was wrong.

But thanks anyway

An easy way to remember is is when you lose, you lost the extra "O."

I don't know about Sooz, but that particular grammar error is one of
my real hot buttons. Another one is the difference between "less"
and "fewer." I want to jump up and down and scream when I see the
"10 items of less" lines at the supermarket. If you don't know how
much, the answer is fewer.

Annoyingly,

It's "losing", not "loosing"

See (to be really annoying....)
"losing" is when you lose something. Lose a contest, or your purse, or
whatever. Pronounced "Luz".

"Loosing" is when you turn something loose on something else, or if something
becomes loose (like your jeans are now loose on your ass -- what a great
feeling!). If you loose your talent upon the unsuspecting world, for
instance.
Pronounced "Lusss".

See?
