grammar gripe

Do you ever feel like the world (via the internet) is conspiring AGAINST communication?? To internet kids out there:

"Than," not "then"
"You're," not "your"
"They're," not "their," not "there"
"Bear," not "bare"
"Hole," not "whole"
"Wary," not "weary"
"Err," not "air"
"Passed," not "past"
"Here," not "hear"
"Breathe," not "breath"
"Borne," not "born"
"Its," not "it's"
"Fare," not "fair"
"Too," not "to"
"Pore," not "pour"

Use "every day" and "everyday" in DIFFERENT SITUATIONS!
Also "any more" and "anymore"

ConsistEnt
PersistEnt
DefinItely

AND MANY, MANY MORE.
THIS MUST STOP. I can feel my Engri—English eroding every time I come online.
WHEN IN DOUBT, CHECK ON M-W.COM...PLEASE!!!
