That word is one of the most frequent misspelled words I see here on FR.

Actually, one of the most misspeeled words on FR and everywhere else in cyberspace is the word "looser" (correct speeling should be "loser"). It is rampantly mispeeled all over cyberspace, and has been for the 20 years that I've been online .... and I cringe every time its seen, but ya can't do anything about it, because to point it out would invite snarly replies such as "you're a looser too".

YIKES! /laughs

Here's a list of the 100 most misspelled words.

Notice that 'loser' isn't on the list? /chuckle

How about homonyms? I never find "affect" and "effect" properly used. It's not just FR either. Everyone does it. And spell checkers don't flag the error.
