And its/it's, as well as, to/too (at least they usually get two right - but that's because they just use the number).
This drives me nuts, too. Text speak. Made up words (my cousin wrote about a "dusking" of snow several times before I crumbled and told hinm that "dusking" doesn't refer to snow and is, in fact, not really a real word. He said that his iPhone was on autocorrect and that's how he ended up with dusking. Sigh. He got pissy when I reiterated that dusking wouldn't be in the autocorrect BECAUSE IT'S NOT A REAL WORD.
This is the same person who allegedly sold a script to "big names" in Hollywood and loved to correct me when I made a little mistake (I wrote county instead of country ONCE).
