I rarely do commas and hyphens myself when typing on forums but, I personally cannot stand inproper words as the result of people spelling phonetically.

I am having difficulty coming up with examples right now but, I am sure you know what I mean.

Improper use of "to" and "too" gets on my nerves as well.

I still see "bumber" instead of "bumper" and "thread" instead of "tread".

What really bothers me is the prevalent ebonics lingo going on in the Bay Area of California. It not only influences the African Americans there, but the general youth. A lot of my friends say "I'm don't want to drink NO MO" or "I AIN'T GON DRINK DAT SHIT, YO." I know they're intelligent people, but...they sure don't sound it.

In Newfoundland, where I was raised, people would say "chimley" instead of "chimney".
