My favorites are:
• athiest (i before e except after c…. well uhh maybe not)
• beleive (that's what I'm talking about)
• looser (that’s Mr. loser to you)
• your (when they meant “you’re”)
• ‘s (when they wanted to make something plural) & vice versa (e.g. its instead of it’s)
(BTW, here's a complete list of exceptions to the i before e rule: www.steve.wagar.com/ibeforee.htm)

And why we're at it, how come spellcheck only checks the Question box and not the Details one too?

I don't mind small typos, I mind people you can't form a proper sentence. I hate long run on sentences, and just a complete lack of grammatical structure.

I'd like to banish mine!
I try to always use spell check but grammar and poor usage can't be helped by that.

Makes you wonder if the "Christains" consider using the "Check Spelling" button a sin.

I'd rather banish some of the typists instead of the typos.

Why would you want to banish them? Banishing them would take some of the fun out of this place.

Those things don't bother me. I only hate the answers that are more like a book then an answer.

Athesit, Athiest, or any other atheist typos.
Know and now mix ups.
U instead of you.
R instead of are.
Any other shortened words.

"Christains." Except that it's a good excuse to drink because it happens so often. I wonder how one removes a christain...with holy water?

I hear you. I can overlook the spelling but the your instead of you're really bugs me.
