    As an editor in a former life, I'd never get anything done if I stopped to post a correction to every typo or grammar mistake I saw in a humour forum image! LOL!

    As well as who's/whose, the most common errors I see are:
    they're/there/their
    its/it's
    were/we're
    to/too
    loose/lose
    where/were
    weather/whether/wether
    using 'that' instead of 'who' when referring to people
    and ... the one that pisses me off the most on HC ... using plural verbs for company actions (e.g. the company are making progress should be the company is making progress ) because the word company is a collective noun (e.g. committee, army, team), and collective nouns are always singular.

    It's a bit like the Walmart sign (https://hotcopper.com.au/threads/wa...pecial.4304526/?post_id=34341834#.W0lmY9gzaQM), sadly the general level of education is deteriorating.
