Yes Peter, I agree!!

 

... and I have to say that the "your" vs "you're" thing is a big pet hate of mine. C'mon people (not just rollaclub), get your contractions right! Funny how certain little things bug you! I wonder if there are generally differing levels of annoyance between:

 

(a) bad spelling (author doesn't know any better);

(b) lazy / trying to be trendy typing (the fooly sic stuff);

© spelling things how you say it (for example, "cos" instead of "because"); or

(d) typos (accidental spelling mistakes).

 

It sounds like people generally are annoyed by (a) and (b)?
