It has already been mentioned, but it amazes me how many out there don't know the difference between your and you're. It seems so basic.
I really enjoy when someone tries to insult another person online, or even argue against their opinion, without proper spelling or grammar. It certainly doesn't add much credibility to their position.

Though it's not exactly on point to this discussion, have you noticed how often interviewees begin their responses with, 'I mean...' ?
I hate to admit it but I caught myself doing that on Wednesday - and as soon as 'I mean' escaped my editing devise and could be heard by others, I actually froze up in disgust and stopped talking altogether. . A personal pet peeve of mine is for someone to us 'they' instead of 'their'. Example: 'they' parents vs. 'their' parents. To me, it makes the speaker sound uneducated. While I have noticed this occurring more in more 'relaxed' or less formal conversations, what is heard is the same and perceived as the same and that is sad indeed. .
