When people write "per say" instead of "per se"
I never see anyone use this phrase.

Couples that say "we're pregnant" when only one of them actually is
The propagation of the human species in general is aggravating.

Confusing coincidence with irony
Claiming to understand irony while giving examples that demonstrate one doesn't is itself ironic. Or maybe it isn't. I've come to expect that people don't understand what irony is. So maybe getting it right would be contrary to expectation.

"Could care less" when they mean "couldn't"
That means you do care, at least a little.

When people write "tooshay" instead of "touch"
Again, I don't think people use this anymore.

"ect." instead of "etc."
I just skim over it so fast I don't notice the the letters are transposed.
Re-read that sentence.

Collage instead of college, colon instead of cologne, and so on...
I assume these are automated spell check errors in addition to the person being inattentive.
