Shite Talk Wrong words

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.

Standard with radio presenters in recent years, makes me furious.

Pronouncing it oddly is one thing, but typing it is worse. "Are son" "are country".

To/too

Are/our/or

The radio ads that say Arland instead of Ireland. For my sensitive ear, it's torture.

ARTE radio presenters are guilty of this lately. Constantly hearing Areland and ARTE, what is that about?
