You havent made a point, youre just making a fool of yourself.
You should consider educating yourself instead of making offensive remarks to people who say things that you dont understand.

LOL 
To me, those errors just jump out of the page. I remember about four years ago, Mice-Elf (bless 'er), posted a spelling test which was genuinely difficult, (mostly on account of nobody ever using the words they'd chosen) and i scored 16 out of 20. Which was mortifying, to me at least!
In NSR last week we had independant twice. And we've had truely twice today. To me, it just says "I don't actually read anything of substance", as anyone i know personally who does do that, doesn't habitually make those sorts of errors.

But is the continued use of the lower case "i" really annoying, or is it just me?
In my general book of faux pas, it is one step up from using the word "no" in place of "know". If u no wot i meen

Not nearly as annoying as the "convention" which dictates that "i" is the only personal pronoun which should be capitalised in the middle of a sentence. I don't like inconsistent rules.

I think the reason why it gets on my goat is purely because of its somewhat unique rule in English usage, which every teacher across the land should have drummed into the little minds of our children.
Funnily, I'm dyslexic. Well, that's what I have been told, at least.
