Spelling Matters

Every so often, I run across some spelling error that just screams to be corrected. I generally abstain, as most people do not take correction well. I’m going to try to make a list someday, but here are two that made me cringe in the past few minutes:

Per Say - it’s “per se” and if you don’t know that you probably shouldn’t be using it.
Lead as a past-tense verb. The past tense of lead is led. The pronunciation of the second, when spelled like the first, is a soft metal.

Are there spelling errors that make you scream? Not just a simple typo, but when someone actually believes that what they wrote is absolutely correct?
