Maybe there should be a ispell-report-bug function,
that digs up the proper place to report:
----
If one loses their mind...
If one looses their mind...
If one loooses their mind...

Emacs only underlines the third as a misspelling.
(ispell-buffer)
----

We are moving away from that in favour of M-x report-emacs-bug.  See
etc/TODO for more information.

That's correct, since only the third spelling is invalid.  The words
"lose" and "loose" both exist but have different meanings.

(And in any case, incorrect spellings are not controlled by Emacs but
should be reported to aspell/ispell/hunspell or whatever spelling
software you're using.)

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

OK but only emacs knows which one it is using, so there should be a
genric function to "report spelling bug"... that at least could make a
template telling the user to "report the following to the nurdspell people."

Well, we have M-x customize-group RET ispell RET where one can see the
value of ispell-program-name.

"Looses" is a valid word, just different.
"To loose" means "to let loose".

(Yeah, well as I noted on
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Talk:looses
it's 99% of the time a misspelling of loses.)
