The one that irks me the most is probably loose and lose.

If something is not tight, it is NOT lose, it's LOOSE.
The opposite of win is NOT loose...it's LOSE.

anybody who spells something wrong in the thread title, that kinda gets me annoyed. I can understand in posts making some spelling errors, but with thread titles it just looks wrong. Plus if they don't edit it either...

I'm annoyed when members can't spell their nicks, like bmacd, or bmd, etc. :p

Congrads!!! Congradulations! <---- = -----> My pet peeve. It's Congratulations or Congrats, for short. There's no "grad-ing" anywhere in there.

it's the fault of the teachers telling kids that phonetical spelling is ok. :|

its and it's.

ITS is the possessive form of the word, such as "The dog chewed its bone."

IT'S is a contraction for IT IS, such as "It's a long way road to heaven."

I do that one often. It still pisses me off. It doesn't follow the rules.
