Not really a grammar issue, but it makes me cringe when someone types boarder instead of border when describing a card.

This is tops on my list.

The other one that I simply can't read past is using "loose" for "lose".

Both of these are using completely different words with completely different meanings, it's maddening.

The other thing that bugs me is when I get a long email that is a solid block of text, without paragraph breaks. I had a teacher in high school who sent out weekly nastygrams like that; if anyone here remembers Professor Umbridge, from Harry Potter, that's what she was like.
