Lots of deliberate errors seen in here. Like many said before me, I'm less likely to read poorly written posts. Though internet communication is more like speech than written word, so things you wouldn't necessarily write in a paper are acceptable. Though, I read over every post at least once before hitting the button.

Some things that really bug me though.
-It's sequel, not sequal. I've even seen sekuel. I guess if you're going to misspell a word, you may as well spell it so badly it look intentional.
-If you want to shorten because, it's 'cause, not cos and especially not cuz.
-All intents and purposes, not all intensive purposes. I think I saw someone make this mistake while critiquing another member's grammar no less.
-Grammar doesn't have an E in it. One of those mistakes you only need to call somone out on a few times before they're fixed.
-Definite, it's de and finite, definite.
-Ridiculous also lacks an E. The same root as ridicule.

Someone should just make a thread about annoying spelling and grammar errors. I've got loads of examples.

The one that annoys me the most is "sales vs sells" which I see very often since this is a sales web site:

Game x still sales good.

What are the sells for this game?
