People adding 'apostrophe + s' on words (ex. word's) that don't need it, or people constantly using the wrong form of words (ex. your, you're, there, they're, their, etc)?
I personally can get rather frustrated over both equally, but wrong word forms get to me the most.

The second one annoys me more (your, you're, dont, wont, ...), but I don't like it when the apostrophe is not used correctly either. I do my best to spell correctly (English is not my native tongue), so it's frustrating to see that native speakers don't bother to write correctly. The rules are made for a reason, and people should respect them. It's hard enough already to communicate without that laziness.
Eh after all the typos my brain has been exposed to, it alleviates the aggravation by just reading it the way it is supposed to be. I very rarely notice typos anymore unless they are just horrid. However my panties still get in a twist any time someone uses the phrase ' i COULD care less' when they are trying to say they don't care about something.
I have been an English teacher for over 20 years, so for me it's normal. When I am reading for meaning I can usually get the idea. I might faint if something was completely correct.
The wrong from of the word I think; or employing a number that has the same vowel sound, or a single letter that sounds the same as a word: 2, 4, C, B--------------Urggggggggghhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!
