I think text messaging has a lot to answer for here - speed is the most important part of getting the message across. Either that or the youth of today have completely loosed the plot!
I'm sure that a lot-or as many would have it, "alot"- of folk pronounce the words in a similar way. If they pronounced "lose" the way that I do, so that it rhymes wi "hose," they would not be confused...
