What spelling mistakes annoy you the most?

ARGH!!! Internet troll speak!! ARRGH!!!! My child uses that word, it makes me want to throw things.
Honestly, my biggest one is when I see the errors in books. People get paid to correct those things, why is there an error in my book?
I think errors like that and some of the others (they're, you're, our....etc) are mostly because we are typing in a hurry and our fingers get ahead of our brains.
It's when people are adamant that they are correct that has me shaking my head.
Like my example of using route instead of root, I got into a heated debate on a forum once about that. The people using the wrong word were 100% positive they were right and would not hear otherwise. That's when it gets annoying.
I wonder if that has anything to do with locale? Route is a generally a road or or a pathway as in Route 66 but in some places route is
pronounced root as in a tree root.
Yeah, that was the argument I was given. However, it doesn't change the fact that the person had typed out route instead of root. They said they were routing for their favorite sport team to win. This was a person who ran around correctly everybody so I rather spitefully enjoyed being the one to kindly point out that you don't route for a team. They aren't a road or cable to be layed. You root for them.
Then started the whole argument about regional dialects/pronouncing, etc.

I lost count of how many times my phone ''thinks it knows better than me", what I really wanted to write...
(Sometimes, I lose so much time correcting the auto-correct. Mostly when I use the pen. )

Ugh auto-correct is the worst. I just have predictive text now so it only changes if I select a suggestion (though I occasionally hit a suggestion by accident, but it's rare), but my last smartphone had auto-correct, it was so annoying. Though auto-correct fails are hilarious sometimes.
"Wao" is actually just how Latinos write "wow."
It is the accepted way of writing it in many Spanish-speaking countries.

Shocker!
I get it all of the time - and quite often it is Ploppo, not just ploppo.
It's plopppo!
4 p's and the first one is lowercase!

I could go on and on. Honestly, though? The longer I hang out in chat rooms and forums and Twitter and all these other places, the worse I get myself. I catch myself making the same mistakes others do because I see them so often. Makes me want to hit my head against the wall when I catch myself. Anyway, I really can't fault people when I sometimes do it, too.
Ugh I hate "Bare with me." I will not bare with you, but thanks for that delightful offer.
then you correct them and they're like "but bear is an animal. It has to be bare." No, just no.
I love it when people say "defiantly" rather than "definitely". It makes me laugh every time.

In my opinion, this does not apply to foreigners or people who do not completely understand the English language.
