I'm more bothered by

"loose" vs "lose"
"would of" vs "would've"

or most especially when people type a word with a spelling that isn't clear to them and they only follow it up with (sp?). Generally, the correct spelling of that word is easily determined, and they've already admitted to themselves that they don't have any confidence in their own attempt to spell it. Why not take the minor effort to get it right rather than propagate the error into the forum?

She was Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink". We apologise for the fault in the signature. Those responsible have been sacked. Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...
