I see this all the time, and for some reason, it really just annoys me to no end.

The ever-growing horde of people who use "loose" for "lose."

I can understand some occasional mix-ups with words like "their," "there" and "they're" or "where," "were" and "we're." But in American driven communities (see it a lot in gaming), people honestly don't know the difference between "loose" and "lose?" Seriously?

Seeing shit like:

"Bro, shut up, you're just going to loose!"

I am? I'm going to decrease tension?

"We scrimmed last night but we loosed."

?????????????????????????????????????

Even see stuff like this a lot on Reddit, Facebook, etc:

"Your a looser."

:crap: Wut?

Just ugh. /endrant
Now anytime you see it, you will be annoyed too! :)

Doesn't annoy me, I do it on perperse.

What annoys me is Americans (sorry, friends) saying, "could care less," or words very close to that. It's "couldn't care less." If you, "could care less" then you care a bit, no? :)

And I also dislike people writing per say, it's per se. (I got out of the wrong side of bed this morning!)
 
Pisses me off to no end.

I wake up every morning shaking my fist at the sky in anger because of that.
 
I can think of 1000 things that annoy me more. I don't really get annoyed easily except when I drive. Here are some things that particularly annoy the shit out of me behind the wheel:

- people who drive below or at the speed limit in the passing lane
- people who take left turns and don't hug the line so other cars can pass on their right
- people who don't use their turn signals
- people who drive 10 MPH or below the speed limit
- people who pull out in front of you when there are no cars behind you, drive very slow and then immediately make a turn on the next road

None of the grammatical mistakes you listed as "ok" are, in fact, "ok". Call me a pedant, but I never hesitate to call out people when they say your instead of you're or anything similar. It's not a simple mistake, they're just fucking stupid.

Agreed, the your and you're bother me much more than lose and loose. Probably due to the higher rate of usage of those terms. It's not being a pedant, it's just such a basic thing there is really no excuse.

It was a busy morning in a hospital, when an elderly gentleman, presented to have stitches removed from his thumb.
He stated that he was in a hurry and he has an appointment, 30 minutes from now. Then one of nurse came there and examined his wound and started to re-dress up his wound.
While taking care of his wound, that nurse engaged for a conversation with the old man. On the conversation that nurse ask from the old man,
“Where do you visit in 30 minutes from now?”
The gentleman told her , that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
Then that nurse inquired about the health of his wife. He told that she is a victim of Alzheimer Disease.
While they are talking, nurse finished dressing his wound,
then the nurse asked “if you late then the she will worried about it?”
He replied that “No it won’t, coz’ she no longer knows who I am and she had not recognized me for last five years.
Nurse was surprised, and asked him.
"And you are still going every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?"
He smiled and patted nurse’s hand and said.
"She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."
