You are using the word "loose" incorrectly.

Loose is an adjective, the opposite of tight or contained.

Lose is a verb that means to suffer the loss of, to miss.

Yeah, some people actually prefer their guides to look as professional as possible. Correcting someone’s grammar in a guide is meant to help them properly establish their brand. If you prefer to write a guide, Fuzy, with completely broken English (or whichever language you prefer) then you’re free to do so. I’m quite sure many people would second-guess the information within if the grammar is terrible. It’s all about appearance, professionalism, and personal brand.
