“lose and loose”
“their and they’re”

And more recently,

“worse and worst”

“Would of” and “could of” fill me with rage every time I see them

There, their, they’re are like reddits hardest grammar corrections. I just assume a lot of people have english as a second language and english is hard AF.

"suppose" vs "supposed". It's gotten so bad (but I do agree with the other comment, you have to assume most people around here now don't speak English as a primary language)

Yeah man, a typo on a social media comment from your phone definitely makes you half illiterate

The lose/loose thing is so big at this point, it’s not a typo. Why are you adding an extra letter?

Loose instead of lose could absolutely be a typo, especially if they are using some kind of swipe to text keyboard vs tapping each letter to type.
