Seriously? It really pisses me off. You can give some leeway to non-native speakers of course, but when native speakers do it they just look like idiots. The worst part is that lately I've seen a fair few games with words spelt wrong. If you're charging money for a product maybe learn to fucking spell the words that are in? Just saw some patch notes for a game with no less than 2 mistakes in, ironically a patch claiming to fix some in game grammar mistakes too. Oh, and it's a game from a British developer too, so they can' even use the non-native speaker and too cheap to employ a good translator excuse.

How about some examples of common mistakes? Maybe some people will even learn how not to look like an idiot any more from this...

 

I could no longer stress myself over grammar after I stopped commenting on IGN. I couldn't have minded if I made a mistake or two. I also couldn't have possibly minded if anyone else made a mistake or two. It has always been a waste of time and energy to be bothered by spelling and grammar. The obvious exception for this would have been if it was for either an important situation or the context was so terrible. The patch notes were terrible both in context and the fact it was an important situation. This was a relatively good example, but I just did not care about it.

Another good example of bad grammar and spelling in terrible context has been revealed in the OP. The OP has grammatical and spelling errors in the first paragraph alone. This I cared about. If you condemned people while properly using spelling and grammar correctly, it would have been fine. Not only have you suggested that those who did not spell correctly looked like idiots in your OP and were idiots in your poll, you made these mistakes yourself. That was hilarious.

Well it's just too cliched not to have some mistakes in the OP

Must have lost the t on "can't" when changing the apostrophe. What's wrong with "any more" though?

Nothing wrong with 'any more' if you're using British English.
