"6. ridiculous - I know this word isn't that easy to spell, but it's getting rediculous. Look up a dictionary, for god's sake."

 

This one particularly gets my goat. Did these people not go to school?

I always failed my spelling tests.....

I just use me browser's spell check. So now I don't have to worry about misspelling anything

I've never used spell check, but I don't think it can tell when you use a correctly spelled word in the wrong place, like then in place of than. So there's still some human effort needed.

That's a grammar error you I could however just use the Microsoft Word and it'll tell me but I'm not sure who has enough time for that. So I just go in blindly

Yeah I can tell. I've never seen so many errors in one sentence.

5. a lot - Jesus Christ, alot is not aword.

Fixed that for you. 

Also, I approve of the OP sentiment, but I would never make this, because there are too many examples.  I'd just link to a website instead.  (I don't have one in mind, but I'm sure there are several with this theme.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
