Its amazing how much of a problem lose vs loose has become lately. But yes, OP should change it to “loses.”

For all intensive purposes, we have become too lose with txt quality, and it effects my mental health.

The thing I don’t get is how often are people using “looses” that it becomes possible to mix it up? I don’t think I have ever used that word in 40 years.

My guess is that because English is such a mish-mash of other languages and has a lot of contradictory rules, the double-o in loose is how most people would guess the way to spell the “o” sound in lose. To people who haven’t been told otherwise, lose probably sounds similar to hose or dose in their heads and “oo” looks more correct despite being wrong.
