As nomuse has pointed out, the use of "loose" when one intends "loose" or "threw" when one intends "through" is not a typographical error; it is an error in word usage. It is a misuse of the language.

The problem is NOT the English language per se. The blame falls on the abandonment of intensive, systematic phonics-first and standard grammar in favor of whole language in the US, Europe, and other English-as-a-first-language nations.

If you worship a philosophy of education that holds it to be unhealthy to the self-esteem of small children to correct them, that inaccurate spelling or usage is not a negative and that in fact there ought be no such thing as 'wrong' spelling or usage in the first place, you get a population that spells inaccurately, uses words improperly, expresses hurt feelings when people point out these errors and loudly claims there is nothing wrong with their spelling or usage in the first place. They then label the person pointing out the errors as cruel, judgmental, rigid and fascistic.
