Ah, grammar. I'm also very anal when it comes to proper spelling and grammar. I must admit that I make many mistakes in this area. Especially when I don't proofread before posting or sending a message.

The ones that irk me the most are: would of/could of/should of. They are verbs. It should be would have/could have/should have.

The only other one that I see often enough to bother me is seeing definitely spelled definately.

While I do respect those who know the difference, I try to not let it bother me too much as there are other things out there more deserving of my ire.
