I see a lot of people mix up woman and women. The former is singular and the latter is plural. It's like they forgot what they were taught in grade school. Also, like the OP mention, people saying "I could care less" infuriates me.

I could care less,that it infuriates you. See,what I did there. I don't have a women.

Some of these posts are awesomely cringe worthy. I find the homonym typos (they're/their/there your/you're) more acceptable, though still annoying, than the could care less/could of type of mistakes. One is not knowing (or forgetting or a typo) how things are spelled. The other mistakes are just mistakes of logic and not thinking about what you're typing or saying. Those are more aggravating to me.
