And I already see people above are posting some loose/lose word games
And just a though came through my mind:
You can be too loose and lose your BTC
And maybe we can create a definition of "To Loose Bitcoins"

Well English is not my native, but I know that there is a huge difference between lose and loose.

Grammar/Spelling Nazi, here. It makes me want to cry so much when I see errors like this. You have no idea. 
I'm questioning your first comma.
I'm not an expert, it just seems that when reading/speaking it, the words "Nazi" and "here" need to be rolled together without pause.
lots of ponzi schme in market place in this forum to lose your bitcoins from your wallet
I like posts with high information density.
If you're taking the trouble to post then clearly you want readers.
Walls of text, no matter how good the grammar, are perceived as "work" by many.
For maximum mind penetration, posts should be crafted like a high dollar infomercial.
Posts written with this method are very good for non native English speakers.
Apologies if I'm loosing track of the thread.

We should also do an explanation of such important grammatical concepts as:
1.) The semicolon
2.) Run-on sentences (also know as commas and periods are your friends!)
3.) The paragraph (closely related to the issues presented by #2 above!)

Not all people are native english speakers. Just saying...
No, but most people have gone to school for at least 9 years, and should know the difference.

I get annoyed when people belittle each other and correct every single tiny mistake, or when they try to use the other person's (minor) errors as an entire basis for a rebuttal of their points. However, when your entire post looks like a 3-year-old on peyote wrote it, then you have a problem and cannot expect to be taken seriously.
If no one ever corrects it, people view it as correct, use it themselves, and it spreads.
They didn't hold them tight enough and they loose them lol
Imagine having it tattooed

I found myself making that mistake recently but corrected it. then it it got me thinking how many times I did that without noticing.
And every time you did a grammar nazi somewhere in the world almost ripped his eyes out in sheer frustration.

it's a typo
I guess there's a difference between a typo and simply not knowing the difference between the two.
Dude you think that's bad, check out some of randomlove's posts. A particularly memorable one was "neivity" which he then tried to blame on "typing on his mobile." Right, I can totally see how that could happen.

There is often confusion over the words loose and lose. This is due to the lack of consistency in pronouncing words that end oose and ose.
Loose means not tight or free from constraint.
To lose means to fail to: (1) keep (2) win or (3) make money.
Loose means not tight or free from constraint.
To lose means to fail to: (1) keep (2) win or (3) make money.
I think that the people spelling it with oose are spelling phonetically, they assume the long "o" needs to be spelled longer, so to speak. It's not a lack of understanding of the meaning. Same reason I keep seeing "proove" lately.
I don't have any problem with how a non-native speaker writes, at least they are trying. But for native speakers, this is inexcusable as I wouldn't have passed 6th grade spelling like that.
Loose and proove all over the place here, whats next?
All this is gonna put me in an early TOOMB
