In particular, it said "loose weight" instead of "lose weight". Now, I don't care to interpret what this would mean if it wasn't a typo, but I was surprised to have just read this and then to have almost immediately seen the mistake. I must say that I have noticed lately that I am unable to spell a lot of words correctly. In particular, I keep using the wrong spelling of homonyms. I wonder if spell checking is making me a worse speller... I just got an email from a relative that used “loose” instead of “lose”. In particular, it said “loose weight” instead of “lose weight”.
