Cute and unfortunately too true.

They missed my personal pet peeve in spelling. "SepArate" people.
It's an "e", "a", "a", "e".
It is NOT seperate.

Another is chose and choose. Easy to mistype that one. I've done it myself, but I also get mad at myself when I do.

And how did they miss, "to", too", and "two"?

I see definitely spelled so many different ways on forums...HA!

These drive me crazy:
rediculous and reccomend. Use spell check PEOPLE!

I have to admit I catch myself spelling things wrong that I have a grasp of the correct spelling it's just that my fingers aren't listening to my brain. Sometimes I'll write stuff like "here" instead of "hear"....GAAAAAH!!!!!!

This isn't a misspell, however, it drives me crazy. I have a friend that says "I have no ideal." It's IDEA!

I agree with all of the above and more.......also HEY is not an appropriate greeting if you don't know me and even if you do, it's lame.

A mistake here and there is a mistake. Constantly showing you don't think it's important tells a lot about a person and their pride, or lack of it. With the accepted "u" for you and "r" for are, etc now with texting, it's only going to get worse (not worst, that another !).

People have no idea how dumb they sound and appear when they are so sloppy.

I personally have a hard time with the word 'judgment'. I'm always trying to insert an e between the g and the m.

I see other people misuse to/too and their/they're/there all the time.

Also 'a lot'. Many people want to make it one word.

Oh man...I am busted! I say "hey" as a greeting...but only with my family because they do it too..sort of a "within the family" phrase I guess.

I don't like "yo" as a greeting though. It seems more people say "yo" than a few years ago. I mean, we used it as teens in the 80's but a 40 year old saying "yo" just isn't cool
