Why was you writing letters to Sandgaard.?

I have an inexplicable on going problem with choosing the correct usage of the words bare, bear or bair.
Gets me every time.😩

What's bair when it's at home?
Bare as in naked, bear as in the animal, bear as in carry. 

Was fucked off when my sexy milf boss sacked me!  One fucking letter...

You’ve just outed yourself, presumably you’re one of CL’s Gramar Police?

I was working on my genealogy a while back, and after going back a few generations successfully found out that my surname could be spelled about six different ways. Apparently during the time when not everybody could read and write, the census takers spelled peoples names the way they thought they should. My genealogy research has been very challenging as a result.

Is it Slimy Gent?

Do they punch you back for unnecessary capital letters and missing full stops?

And a good kicking for the missing comma?

Daryl or Darryl or Darel being spelled Darrel

Not a misspelling but my favourite website address was when Powergen set up their website for Italy - www.powergenitalia.com.

don't forget the pen/pencil stationery shop whose website was penisland.com and the website listing agents for actors which was whorepresents.com 

If I recall correctly, it was the tourist information site for Pen Island, not a stationary shop

sir/madam always used to be the write way of course. I honestly don't know what would be the correct way for a formal letter!

The various wrong spelling of the word accommodation, always annoys me

Oops

I had a manager in Thailand who used to give cheques every week to staff. She used to send me an email each week before issuing the cheques which read, “Tomorrow I will sing the cheques. The total is xxxxx”. 

When people spell shite, when they mean shit.
Wet spam instead of West Ham.
Both examples make the writer come across as childish.

However, a good sketch of cock and balls where you least expect to find it, is not childish, but very humorous 

Used to be a chippy in Penge that advertised Fish, Chips and Burger's.

Not a spelling mistake but getting words mixed up.
Many years back I was given a very small one line speaking part in a school play, with disastrous consequences.
You must remember I was a somewhat nervous twelve year old at the time.

”I have come to snatch a kiss and fill your soul with hope.”

I blurted out.
 
“I have come to kiss your snatch and fill your hole with soap.”
