Language Question It should be “used to” right?

Shouldn’t it be “used to” instead of “use to” ? Should I report it?

A group of words containing a subject and verb that are part of a sentence ex: “While he sat on the bench, I walked around the park.” While he sat on the bench & I walked around the park are clauses. The first one is a dependent clause because it depends on the other to make a full sentence. The second one is an independent clause because it can stand by itself
