The Wall Street Journal confusing "losing" with "loosing?" In the *headline?* That's weird.

I figured out why people get this wrong. They think surely "lose" rhymes with hose or nose, so it must be "loose" which is not flagged by spellcheck.

That makes sense but...the Wall Street Journal? You'd think a professional proofreader would know better.

True. But my guess is professional proofreaders are now very thin on the ground in all forms of publishing.
