(1) You are absolutely right and If we do not lean them well, definitely we misuse them because they are confused words.
(2) I would like to mention here how we pronounce them for reader's convenience.
(3) Lose is a verb and it pronounces as " luùz" (IPA sound)
It is meant to put or drop something somewhere and not to know where it is.
(4) Loose is a verb and an adjective.it pronounces as "luùs " (IPA sound) verb is meant to start something happening, and adjective is meant not attached.

yes I know that. Some people use abbreviations and slang anyway, which the spell check wouldn't know. Also, isn't the spell check American, that would make it wrong for those who spell in English English rather than American English. People shouldn't need to use the spell check because they should be able to spell anyway. Well except if they're only little. Anyway, if your spelling is wrong, people can still understand but if your grammar is wrong, your question might have a completely different meaning or just not make sense. There should be a grammar check. Something that could read whether your questions and answers actually make sense!

No, they are not aware of this problem. I usually attribute this to their lack of experience or their age. It is sad but very true. Makes you wonder what they are teaching in school, let alone let kids graduate. It is up to us to teach those who are ignorant of these facts so they will learn and not make the mistakes in the future as well as teach those around them.

Hey,
No machine can predict your thoughts and the language that you need to verbalize them, it can just help you. And come one if you do not think a little bit from time to time you will continue asking such outrageously stupid questions
