Grammar issues are a pain to see, but I tend to overlook them because it just does't seem worth it to jump on that particular soapbox.

If a person makes a grammatical error in a statement that is nothing more than diarrhea of the keyboard, does the error really matter?

1) Belief vs believe
2) Too vs to
3) Spend vs spent
4) Bear vs bare

We don't have traffic lights in South Africa, we have robots.

A pancake is something flat and a flapjack is what the Americans would say pancake.

A soda is a cold drink and a barbeque a braai

I've noticed in posts that discuss OSAS, people will either say you can or can't "LOOSE" your salvation instead of LOSE.

I typically don't care at all when people make grammatical errors. Frankly, there are far worse things that people could do.
There is one thing, though; when people type, "should of" instead of, "should've". I see this happening far more often than I'm comfortable with.
