What words do you hate to see misspelled?

The main typos and errors I don't like are:

1. the to/too/two, hear/here, etc mixups
2. 'deliberate misspellings' ("u" instead of "you", that sort of thing.)
3. When people don't use punctuation at all. -_-

That's pretty much it, I guess.
 
I just don't like it when people butcher punctuation. Especially in the RP forums. Which is very obvious.. ^_^
 
Ah, how could I have forgotten? I can't stand it when people don't put spaces after periods or exclamation marks. That's a huge pet peeve of mine. -_-
 
Let's see...when they spell my name wrong (it's Lexy, not Lexie, Lexi, Alexa, or any other variation. It's not taht hard of a concept to grasp >>), wrong grammar/spelling, etc. Basically what everyone said here.

Oh yes, and the nasty abbreviations, such as btw/, b/c, @, etc...unless you're taking notes and you need to keep up with the pace, don't use them.
 
When people spell You're with your and vice versa, people spell phycic instead of Psychic. Belive instead of believe. I /could/ go on...but I wouldn't bother ._.
 
I used to get mad when people spelled my usrename wrong. But don't really care anymore.
 
I don't like it when people misspell simple words... and when they subsitute you for u, ect. That's about it ^^;;
 
Tch. Peronally? I hate seein' ppl say "xD" instead of "XD", as well as any form of misspellin' "Dragon". >_<
 
1. Any word used in "leet"

2. Misspelling character names in a forum dedicated to the media those characters are in, or a forum member's name.

Too bad, I'm not going to stop! xD

I hate when people misspell...I can't think of any. As long as people don't misspell too many words I'm fine.

I personally cannot stand it when people try to spell the word 'ridiculous' and instead spell it as 'rediculous'. It bugs me.

I'd also like to note that interestingly enough, searching for the word 'definately' on Pokecommunity.com yields over 500 results. This wouldn't be so impressive, but the correct spelling of the word, 'DEFINITELY', yields absolutely nothing.

... :surprised

I spell it correctly. o_O That's odd.

I hate it when people use chatspeak, mess up their homophones, or type lyk dis, 'cuz they tink it makes them kewl, yo - both of which still sort of count. It's what will kill correct grammar. ;-; I also dislike "hypocratically" [it's hypocritically, ne?], "definately" [like you =P], when people spell it "Kylie-Chan" [it's got a lower case "c", people, for future reference =P], and all stupid misspellings. Actually, most spelling errors drive me nuts.
 
excessive chatspeak is about it... for the most part, I'm good at being able to read a misspelled word or a typo and be able to figure out what it was supposed to mean as long as said typos are kinda subtle.
But if someone neglects punctuation and/or doesn't even seem to bother with proofreading their posts, then I'll just as soon pass the post up than waste my time trying to read it...

To quote the worst post I've ever seen (at GameFAQS...)

That made baby Jesus cry.
 
It's definitely definately.

;_; Or your/you're, but lately in forums, there's a slim to no difference between the contraction form and the possessive form. o_o;

They're just petty grammar mistakes, though.
 
I don't like it when people spell "because" wrong.
And it makes me want to edit posts when I see Pokemon names/types/attacks/natures/etc in lower case, like "bulbasaur" and "shadow ball".
(Even though I do it from time to time.)
 
Kohei, bulbasaur can be lower case, too. Just like how dinosaur isn't Dinosaur. I s'pose it depends on how you feel about it. X3
