"Number" vs "amount" is another one. I do find it distracting to read sites with lots of errors, though I can get beyond it if the underlying content is good... and when I'm emailing friends, I get so careless that I'm sometimes shocked at the errors I make myself!

Jon: I guess a strategic use of typos as keywords can be smart but I'm not convinced that's Shoemoney's plan since he has typos in so many words. Is 'teh' a common search term? Steve and Site Web Site: I agree that strong content can outweigh the significance of grammar/typos. But I still find it hard to overlook. Angela: Writing can definitely be hard but I also think it's about education. I don't know about here in the US but where I grew up there wasn't much input at school in terms of grammar beyond learning that a verb is a 'doing word'. Thanks for the comments guys.
