The worst one in my book is by far when people make a lot into one word. That pisses me off to no end. So in case you didn't know this already, it is a lot, not alot.

If you check out Jenni Apple or Candi Apple you may just see their names in the link descriptions spelled Appel instead. Technically still correct, just not in english.

Considering accents have come into the written words more now. Also that most people type how they speak. As well as 99% of the world don't even use Queens English anymore. In that figure the fact that the English language isn't their first language. Then you can now expect typo's from the way you speak or type.
Oh and alot AAS is in the Oxford English dictionary as one word. But many do miss spell it by spelling it allot.

Very sad but so true
That is a shame. It's also a shame that those non-citizens that do know more are regularly told to **** off and mind their own f'ing business.
It's also going to **** with the abbreviations people use on their mobile phones. I'm dyslexic, so I know I fuck up big time sometimes...thank GOD for spell check.
Are you one of those dyslexic atheists who don't believe in dogs?
Confusion between "it's" which means "it is" and "its" meaning "belonging to it"
Singulars and plurals eg criterion and phenomenon are the singular form and criteria and phenomena are plurals.
The moronic use of i to denote the first person singular.Perhaps the users don't have sufficient self esteem to allocate themselves an upper case letter!

Actually allot is a word. Are you sure "alot" is in the Oxford English Dictionary, I went to this site and typed in "alot" and nothing came up. http://www.askoxford.com/dictionaries/?view=uk
It is just an abbreviation of my name.
I usually get annoyed at "there, their, they're" more than anything. I don't think that the argument about higher education washes either. I only went to two years of college, during which I took no English classes. So basically, I have a high school education when it comes to that. And my grammar and spelling are near perfect.
Of course I also scored 1520 on the SAT.:tongue:

Speaking as a physician, there are in fact type-os, and too, are indeed one thing; there are also type-os 2, which, while having some intrinsic value on their own merit, do somewhat pale as far as sensational impact and continuity is concerned when compared to the original (cinematic release, being specific, here, unlike of the predilections one certain "Primate" of the December 25th Century).
As an aside, currently on the grueling concert trail and most likely getting run-over in the process is a reasonably well-known, blarney-soaked quasi-musician still living with his parents by the name of Type O'Negative, who, as of late has embarked upon a hunger strike well into its second or third hour, during which time, he has abstained from consuming any vegans what so ever.
Too bad, for the rest of us carnivores, if you care to think of it.

Funnily enough i was just about to make this same very valid point
See that: I actually made a valid point! Do you believe in Miracles?
Alright then, how 'bout Smokey Robinson?
Strangely my most common typo is 'lol'.. I tend to go 'll' by accident because I always miss the o... :O
Weird I know!

I generally check my spelling over before I press the submit/enter/send button. If it's a handwritten letter (which I still do on occasion) I always read over it a few times to try and make sure there were no mistakes in my spelling or grammar. I'm not always perfect, but I make an effort as I know how I write is a reflection of me.
Unnecessary apostrophes.
