Oh, that one drives me crazy and I see it all the time. Another pet peeve is when people write 'loose' instead of 'lose' or say 'have went' instead of 'have gone.' The worst is when you purchase a book that is filled with typos, punctuation and grammar errors. What happened to editing before publishing?
