The worst one is lose and loose. It’s incredible how people that have been alive for decades speaking, reading and writing English fluently can still get these wrong.
"Lose" is a verb that means to suffer a loss, to be deprived of, or to fail to keep something. "Loose" is an adjective that means not firmly attached, or not tight.
Loose also can be used as a verb, meaning to set free or release something / someone.
“loose the dogs” means to set the dogs free; not to be confused with “lose the dogs”, meaning to become deliberately separated from the dogs until you can’t find them / they can’t find you.
“You lose” is declaring the other person lost at something (a game or event most likely). “You loose” is declaring their tightness is not up to par.
