It's just one of those special words

I would like to say they are just taking the Mickey now, but to say so would be somewhat belated.

Seriously, why is "lose" such a difficult word for people on internet forums to spell.
This could be straight out of Brazil, where people are charged for their arrest, charged for their detention, and charged for "electrical procedures" relating to their interrogation:
"Don't fight it son! Confess quickly, or you'll jeopardize your credit rating."

Irrespective of how much money someone has, why should they be out of pocket as a result of defending themselves against a charge that's untrue or has insufficient evidence?
What's being proposed is a case of gross injustice.

New regulations set to come into force later this month will see motorists forced to cough up court costs - even if they're found not guilty or acquitted of motoring offences.
The government-inspired change to the current set-up - where drivers get costs refunded if they're innocent - is being implemented to save cash, in spite of fierce opposition from legal and motoring groups who were nominally 'consulted' before the new policy was drawn up.
According to the Ministry of Justice, the age old principle of 'the loser pays' has been costing the government too much money. As a result the new rules make it clear that in future drivers will have to foot the bill for clearing their name. According to The Taxpayers Alliance, that equates to 400,000 people, or one in four of those who challenge a ticket.
Kerrrching!
I'm sure you were doing 107 MPH sir, like to go to court and clear your name?
Before you know it they'll be abolishing legal aid, and will expect defendants to rely on the judge to protect their interests, like back in the 18th century (when defence briefs were not admitted in court during felony trials).
The Human Rights lawyers will have a field day with all this.
