There is a large class of spelling errors that do not get caught by a spelling checker. Loose and Lose are just two examples. Some are the result of typos, like doe snot for does not. I have seen loose many times when lose was meant. I think it is a mental check caused by extension of choose or shmooze -- anyway, not a typo, and not caught by a spell checker.
