Those examples are neither grammar nor spelling,
but I like that you mentioned them because they
are indicative of the laziness in language these
days. It's like the use of the word "thing" when
people can't take the time to come up with the more
precise word.

It doesn't grate as much the repetitive spelling mistakes,
but it does make me feel somewhat sad, particularly when
I catch myself doing it.
