Any of - they don't know better, they don't care in the first place,
they don't care about correcting typing errors, they didn't notice,
they're typing one-handed, they're so used to spelling correctors
auto-correcting their typing for them...

The misuse of "loose" and "lose" bugs me the most, second is probably
"dose" instead of "does."  But seeing someone type in all-caps tends to
be far more annoying that someone posting in all-lower-case.

Usually I gloss over the occasional one, but some messages require an
awful lot of interpretation trying to figure out what they meant, thanks
to their complete lack of structure.

trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the
