A couple I have seen on here:

Weather instead of whether.
Who's instead of whose.

Come on people! You should know better! :police:

Another:

Aloud instead of allowed. I saw it on Facebook.

I don't think I have any.  Grammar and spelling are somewhat alien to me and I struggle with it on most posts. In the past it has been one of the things that discouraged me from posting on forums and it still keeps me out of chats.   So as long I can understand the meaning of a post very little bothers me

See if you can spot it - it is on the orange sign. And on the black sign, isn't it meant to be espresso?
