The only thing that drives me irrationally bonkers is the increasing use of "loosing" instead of "losing", even here on HN (https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=loosing https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=loosing). Mostly because I cannot comprehend how anyone can not know how to spell "losing". However, this isn't slang.
