When people finish their rant with "End off"Of and off is another common one, bugs me no end because they don't sound the same.

For sure, my step-dad is dyslexic so I'd never laugh at his weird texts.I mean obviously there are people who will struggle with their grammar, spellings etc for various reasons, and that’s understandable. My gripe is with the people who know better but are just being lazy.
Omg how do you even tell them. I have a friend that constantly gets your/you’re to/too wrong. It grates me so bad - how do you even tell them without being a witchSpelling. I appreciate stupid spellcheck/text can automatically enter the wrong spelling/or homophones but when a person misspells the word in texts and I've even told them and they still continue to misspell it makes me mad, just correct your word history in your phone.
Well even more infuriating when autocorrect does a lot of it for you.I mean obviously there are people who will struggle with their grammar, spellings etc for various reasons, and that’s understandable. My gripe is with the people who know better but are just being lazy.
ThankyouPeople who merge words that don’t work together as one.
Ex. “noone” instead of “no one”.
I think some of it is an Irish thing too. A few Irish people that I know from work say it in speech ‘oh I seen this guy’ - I think it’s fairly common.Grammar’s not my strong point so I’m a bit of a hypocrite but I keep seeing people write seen rather than saw I.e. ‘I seen this on TV’ or ‘I seen her’.
Af first I thought maybe just a typo but I’m seeing it regularly now and it’s so bizarre and annoying. As if you’d even say that in real life let alone write it?
I would not mix up Jane/Jayne, Jackie/Jacqui but Micheal/Michael look to me to be the same. I only know they are not because you have used it as an example. I normally have to C&P namesPeople who consistently spell someone's name wrong, even when they've known them for years, or when the name is right there in front of them on an email or social media.

I get this a lot. Yes it's unusual but not that hard to spell!People who consistently spell someone's name wrong, even when they've known them for years, or when the name is right there in front of them on an email or social media. I'm thinking Micheal/Michael, Jane/Jayne, Jackie/Jacqui, etc.
My husband gets this a lot with his name.
