There's a ton of them out there.

Is it the fault of the teachers, or is it a matter of people being lazy?

That's a classic "doesn't understand abbreviation"

It should be should've, not should of.

speaking of OF, it's meaning is a lot different to OFF, I can still remember in early primary school being taught how to remember off had 2 f's in it , "it takes 2 legs to jump off something"

The one that bugs me the most is loose/lose.

I always laugh when I read something where someone is being called a looser, instead of loser. I just think to myself it's lucky they aren't a tighter

so you'd be happy to work with someone that can't speak a single word of english compared to someone that makes a mistake. I know guys in WA that couldn't even tell the difference between the above post, but they would just laugh at you and go on to tell you it obviously doesn't matter too much as their on 6 figures for half a years work.
