The usual Their, There, They're, Too, To.

Biggest pet peeves: Could of, would of.

Not yet mentioned: The incorrect use of Effect and Affect.
YUP...totally!

Would of
Could of
Should of drive me nuts.

I know that I have heard this at least 3 times today,"Also......,too."

live long and dont worry about stuff so trivial.
I'm literate but in the text age i'm not wasting my day trying to correct everything because it takes longer to type it then to say it.

This is tops on my list.

The other one that I simply can't read past is using "loose" for "lose".

Both of these are using completely different words with completely different meanings, it's maddening.

The other thing that bugs me is when I get a long email that is a solid block of text, without paragraph breaks. I had a teacher in high school who sent out weekly nastygrams like that; if anyone here remembers Professor Umbridge, from Harry Potter, that's what she was like.

It bothers me when people use "data" and "media" as singular nouns.
