It is kind of frustrating.

[(Anonymous)]

There are some that were so commonly mistaken, that the mistake has become common use, which annoys me - Like using thing instead of the second think in "If you think I'm going to let you get away with this, you've got another think coming."

On the other hand, I once read something where the writer used 'human beans' instead of 'human beings' and that was just funny.

But I find I'm more forgiving of this than the nonexistent words that sometimes pop up which means that the writer didn't even use spellcheck. And some homophone mistakes bother me so much:
then/than
wary/weary
discrete/discreet
illusive/elusive
principal/principle
capitol/capital
peak/peek/pique
break/brake
bare/bear
compliment/complement
faze/phase
aisle/isle
advice/advise
straight/strait
cue/queue

And using 'of' after could, would, or should is never correct, it is always could've, would've, should've, which are contractions with 'have'.

The one that drives me crazy is "please say SIKE"

It's "psych." As in, to psych someone out. Sike isn't a word, it's just a meaningless syllable.

[calystarose]

“Psych” had three different meanings in the '90s, all playing on the word “psychological”: There's to “psych out,” meaning to be anxious or intimidated (e.g. “That chem test totally psyched me out!), as well as to “be psyched” or excited about something (e.g. “Dude, I am SO PSYCHED about the Third Eye Blind concert!”). Both of these uses have been around since the early 1960s. A third (and more obnoxious) usage, “Psych!” or “Sike!”, meaning to trick someone, is newer; it’s been in use since 1990.

I was in SoCal in the 90s and we absolutely spelled it sike then too.
