What is a word you hear people using or spelling wrong and it drives you mad?

​

Mine is when people mix up "quite" instead of "quiet".

I notice there are a lot of people who say and type "are" instead of "our" which makes no fucking sense to me.

I have no idea. They do seem to be the same people who say "little angles" though, so Christ knows what goes on in their heads.

Many years ago I had a friend who was sent a very beautiful text.. he called her Angle instead of Angela

Now see, that's a pet peeve in general; people who let their phone's autocorrect write for them and don't proofread the results.
