:banghead: What is a common grammar or spelling error you are slightly annoyed by when you see it?

I get annoyed when I see people write ect instead of etc. :P
 
Hmm, things like it's/its and there/their/they're come to mind...
Using I instead of me in places where it really should be me is quite annoying as well.
Oh and let's not forget alot or allot in place of a lot.
 
There are a lot of pet-peeves that I have, somewhere along the line, I became borderline robotic with some things. I am not saying that I am perfect, in-fact, I still make a lot of errors from time to time without noticing, but there are some specific problems that I have noticed that have been instinctively annihilated on my part. A lot of the issues pertaining to where comas belong, apostrophes, and those measly "without further adieu/without further ado" moments.
