There are far more important things to get het up about than someone who mixes up the spelling of words, especially on an Internet forum of all places.

I think the people who chirp up and correct grammar are far more annoying than the people who make the mistakes.

Yes! You are boss! Lets not have standards and type like this across everything. Then their poor standards become standard. Hello conversation.

"Bestest!" Thats another annoying one including "bettered".

Get in line, what about.

Whether/weather...how do they get this wrong?!?!?
Know/no...yes really!
You are/your...this has got to an epidemic, so bad I have a feeling it'll get into the dictionary soon!

But who cares anymore? Not my job to educate people.

It's easy to explain.

People who type 'brought' instead of 'bought' are thick.

I actually have an app on my phone, which occasionally produces the following error:

'This feed has been limited by Twitter, because their evil!'

Always have a chuckle at that, but it's an otherwise excellent free app so I'll let them off.

Anyone agree how funny this is? nearly everyone has an iPhone/fancy phone or Pad as well as computer with built in spelling/grammar checkers.

Send, send, send!

I have to see a shrink. The internet has inflicted so much rage.

Yet with all those built in at your fingertips and the bloody world freaks out for no start button. How is this possible?

I'm glad you bought this to our attention.

If I brought this from you, can I use it instead? I was going to write that.

There are loads of misstakes like that, such as:

Which - Female with pointed hat
Witch - Consumer magazine

Yep, the other day I got this text from a mate who's obviously too lazy to write the words himself or even read them before sending.

"Gonads pop past Joel's. Give ya a shout later"

Spell checkers are awesome imo

The one that gets me is when they write smileys the opposite way round such as c:

We're not Asians, we read left-to-right. To me, c: looks like the c prompt in DOS

Bingo!

Most grammar errors I ignore, it's just the one I mentioned in the OP that drives me over the edge.

You mean like the recent addition to the definition of "Literally"

The most annoying one by far is people on Facebook thinking they're dead smart by typing status' when it's actually statuses. It really ****es me off.

Sir, I fully agree with the general thrust of your post, you have in essence pinpointed the most apt target of my ire and at this moment in time I do not believe I possess the necessary elegance of prose nor the literary wit to further advance the point.
I would at most only be able to offer an incremental exposition of the issue which would surely do nothing other than sully your original presentation with my most unworthy agreement.
Forthwith I acknowledge your most erudite precedent as being the most pre-eminent advice on the subject and will trouble this thread no further with my thoughts on the matter.
