People may be getting snotty at you for this, but I agree. Those two top things definitely bug me a lot, and I will automatically back button if I see them used repeatedly. I also get a bit pedantic about comma use - if commas are left out of sentences where they actually aid meaning, or put in sentences where they are completely unnecessary and in a weird spot to boot, I will also back button just because the story becomes painful to actually parse.

But it doesn't make me think the writer is a bad person or that I'm better than them in anyway, I just think they need to develop their proof-reading skills or get a good beta reader. No one is perfect at everything, and a lot of people find spelling and grammar hard. But if you want to be a writer at any level it's something you need to keep working at.

Anecdata time: One of my best friends childhood always found spelling difficult, even as a young adult. Spelling and grammar kind of came naturally to me, so she at times expressed jealousy over that to me. But she also wanted to be a writer, so she worked at improving her spelling as well as developing the journalistic style she needed over the years and is now very successful in her field.
