I'm guilty of that-Stranger- said:
For me it's when total idiots can't spell for shit, so they talk like 'hey u want 2 quest?'. Especially in WoW/MMOs. I used to be like that, but then I started playing Warhammer. Which has the greatest community an MMO has ever had, IMO. There, I was taught to use correct language and grammar.
Though, when I'm talking to a nice guy that doesn't talk like me, I feel like I'm on some type of high horse. So sometimes I have to start using bad grammar to be on the same level with the person I'm talking too.
Peer pressured into spelling badly. Oh, the humanity!skywalkerlion said:I'm guilty of that-Stranger- said:

Now I think about it, I think I should just direct everyone I meet that cant use good grammar for shit to the trial for warhammer or something. Cause seriously, only 2 in 10 people there really talk like that. Too bad its such a crappy game.
I have way too many general spelling niggles. They're/Their/There, Where/Were, Your/You're, Effect/Affect, the whole bunch.
What really annoys me is when people spell things that it's their business to know wrong - for example, a girl in my class spelled "Tourette's Syndrome" as "Turret's Syndrome" which would have been tolerable if we hadn't been in a Psychology class and she wasn't interested in non-typical development :/

Their, they're, and there.
Your and you're.
Alot instead of a lot.
Tho instead of though.
CoD6 instead of MW2.

I will say this once and only once.
"Weary" is a synonym for tired.
"Wary" is a synonym for cautious.
DO NOT MIX THEM UP.

Interestingly enough, according to Merriam-Webster's duelist and duellist, artifact and artefact are indeed fully acceptable spellings. It's based largely on the region you're in, I would presume, but still. It's a real dictionary of note.RamboStrategy said:
EDIT for OT:
As for me, I think I fall into the 'definitely' camp. But I really have very few qualms about people who misspell (except when it comes to essays and the like), it's just that when you type 'defiantly' instead of definitely it makes you look silly.
lawl you guyz are such speling nazees, just chil out its the inernet, not sum skool speling competion.
That was just as painful to type as it is to read, but a lot of those words I have actually seen misspelled. (Was that proper grammar? Meh.)

This is a very specific one, but Vaughan in Stevie Ray Vaughan. People spell it Vaughn all the time, and it bothers me no end.
same goes for people who spell "a lot" as "alot" ITS TWO DAMN WORDSFurburt said:
also my n key is slow to respond at times so I hate it when I get words like "typign" even though I press "n" before "g"
