What is the most often...

Proofread? I am not even supposed to have think! My Galaxy S4 proofreads ME. Even if I spell a word perfectly, it will sometimes substitute one it likes better. I really, really wish I could turn that function off.

X2!

Spell check? Heck, android changes words, loves to insert 'n' instead of a space (the blank space around the keys defaults to n instead of space) and half the time trying to edit mid-sentence, the backspace deletes characters at the end of the sentence. And no arrow keys!

Spell check? Heck, I'd be happy if the darn thing would just accept what I type without fighting ;)

How about "would of" in place of "would have?" Are we finished now?

The improper use of the words in the photo are my favorite.

I could care less. Or couldn't care less.
Advise=Advice
Loose=Lose
Break=Brake

How about the "ough". Ought, through, though, enough.

As Dizzy Dean once supposedly said to an English teacher who belittled him for his poor grammar. "Ma'am, you teach them English and I will learn 'em baseball."

Point made.

Like it or not, good grammar and spelling are the hallmarks of an educated adult. Try as you might, saying it "doesn't matter" rings hollow and reeks of rationalization.
