You know, I spend at least 5-6 hours a week reading the intraweb and I amazed at the dumbness of some folks.  I'm not talking about typo's or difficult words.  Rather, I am talking about some real simple shit.  

LOOSE is what you do to your pants

Lose is what happens when you can't find something

You are = you're, not YOUR.  Your spelling sucks, you're an idiot!

These are my biggest two that I see all the time.  Anyone else have some others that really tic you off?

Yes, I have a grammar peeve.

You spelled nazi's instead of nazis.
The apostrophe is possessive.

ya, u r piky.


One of the worst IMHO is not knowing when they should say I vs me, but even worse is when anyone says or types youse. (Pronounced yooz).

Another kicker is when something is described with the use of and, like "I ate and Avacado".

I don't correct spelling unless it leads to obvious and substantial misunderstanding.  I think most people can deal with a little of it.

If someone decides to write something that potentially millions of people could read, they should at least take the time to spell their words correctly. It is difficult to take someone seriously when they spell like they have a third grade education.
