The culture of misspelling lose with loose, excusing it and down-voting to oblivion anyone that dares point out the mistake. "Sorry, is that wrong? English is my second means of communicating with other Homo Sapiens and it was an honest typographical error on my part. Please accept my sincerest apologies." (original comment remains unedited to fix the typo)
I don't think it's a 'culture'; it's not something people choose to do. There's just a lot people out there who aren't as familiar with English as you.
You seem fun.
Oh, oh. Is it too late to put 'unfunny and old 10 years ago attempts at recycled wit by people not smart enough to come up with their own unique sentence" on the list?
