That annoys me the most!
Let me educate: Correct Use: "I couldn't care less" means "I do not care at all." Incorrect Use: "I couldcare less" means "I still care a little bit."

"You can't have your cake and eat it too."
Actually yes you can, however "You can't eat your cake and have it too." The is the correct version of the phrase and it is actually what helped nail Ted Kazinsky in the Uni Bomber case. He said ti that way and his brother noticed it when one of the FBI agents showed him a letter.

Those of us in design refer to that as an artifact. It is something unique to a design but useless except as something you know is there that others may copy without understanding why is or isn't there.
Warn did it to their older fairleads to see who was copying them. They put a 45 degree angle in one of the corners and the others are not. You can see it on some of them still.

You sir win the Cliff Clavin interesting fact of the day award. Now every Warn fairlead I see will be inspected
Auto correct on a swiping keyboard will get me on that one. I defiantly find it funny.
Map makers and publishers will do something similar with a non-existant place name and an intentional typo as a copyright trap.

If anyone needs a hobby, you could spend all day wandering around finding stuff.
Most people don't know that the half life of caffeine in the body is 5-6 hours either...
That's crazy. We see what we expect to see. I didn't notice that'the first time through.

Good grief now I am super paranoid about my spelling! LOL. I just made a post and read over it very carefully before publishing.

We need to get @Chris to get us the Grammarly add on... that way we wont have to strain the brain...
Damn if I did not realize mine was not working until you said something. Fixing that now.
We all make mistakes, that's a given.
I think the issue for me is that when someone makes little to no effort to even attempt to fix their grammar. When you're one of those people who always misspells everything and simply doesn't care, that's when it begins to bother me.
In all fairness though, I will say that whenever I write things on my phone, I'm probably three times more likely to make a mistake than when doing it on my desktop computer. Between the small screen and auto-correct, it can be tricky.
It blows my mind that someone people have nothing more than a phone these days. I couldn't live without my desktop computer.
