I know I have typos ocaisionally on the blog because I assume I've proofread as I typed and then reread a day or so later and am mortified at what I let slip by.

I understand the phrase "up the ante", but do we now have to use up as a verb all the time? For instance, someone the other day said, "The doctor is going to up my medication." One of our school administrators said they were glad we could up our test scores. These people sound stupid to me.

Loose/lose; compliment/complement; their/they're/there; its/it's; and, like Von said, possessive when it should be plural - the list goes on and on! It bugs me to no end! What's worse is seeing it in print in books, magazines, newspapers, etc. I can tolerate it more when it's on someone's personal blog than when someone has actually been paid to write, but it's annoying all the same.
