These don't rank even in the top 100 in terms of "things that keep me up at
night."

It's pretty annoying when an email or text or IM contains *so much*
malformed spew that I have to struggle and re-read several times to
transform it into something I can understand, but if I can apply quick
mental error correction with a minimum of effort, it's way easier to 'let
it go' than it is to gripe about it.​  I'm sure occasionally people even
transmit typos in CW.  Forgiveness and tolerance are pretty nice things.

(​Personally I find ordinary, everyday verbal abuse of the language (where
phones aren't even involved) FAR more obnoxious​, like using the word "ask"
as a noun.  But that's my pet peeve :-) )

Saying something doesn't make it true.  Belief in something doesn't make it
real. And if you have to lie to support a position, that position is not
worth supporting.
