The inability of pilots to use proper variations drives me crazy, specifically:
Your: As in possession. "I hijacked your thread."
You're: Contraction of "you are". "You're incapable of using proper grammar."
Their: As in possession, from a third-party point of view. "Their thread was hijacked."
There: As in a location, or general speech. "There exists evidence that..." or "I lost my wallet over there."
They're: Contraction of "they are". "They're quite awesome, those PopRocks."
Cite: Typically seen in references, to "cite" a source.
Sight: Referring to optics, such as line-of-sight or the sense of sight.
Site: Typically a location, physical or virtual, such as a disaster site.
Wear: The act of wearing garments, or the act of destructive forces on goods or nature (wear and tea, weathering)
Where: A location or reference of speech, especially in legal documentation: "Where sufficient evidence exists that pilots need a grammar lesson, and where ..." or "Where the hell am I?" (often heard in wormhole space).
(ESL pilots forgiven by default, but please do try to make an effort) 
This has been a public service announcement from Candles and Lighters Incorporated. Kudos to the insider with intimate knowledge of this inside joke

I'm somewhat perplexed by the original poster. Is Emporer Cheney suggesting that those who perhaps don't spell very well are somehow lacking in self respect? Well, I for one, am certainly very respectful of myself. Sometimes I respect myself several times daily. I look in the mirror, wink at myself whilst making a gun cocking gesture with my hand, and reminding myself to "go get em, champ!"

While is does annoy the s**t out of me, it is important to remember that language is a living, breathing animal...constantly changing and evolving.
For instance no one uses thy, thee, hath etc any more, if someone from 1900 was here to day, im sure they would be disgusted at our butchering of the spoken and written word...i have no doubt what so ever that "txt" speak will become the norm in the future and all us old codgers will be equally disgusted.

"moar," "guise," and associated lolcats memes aren't an organic evolution of language, they are rather a transitory tribal identifier. They are announcements of "I am a doughy nerd who spends all his time on the internet, and I wish to communicate that to the world. PS Aren't cheetos and Mountain Dew delicious." Your/You're confusion and the like are easy occurrences in such an international player base such as EVE's, but meme-speak is something else entirely.

The worrying thing is that it seems to be far more common among native speakers, presumably because everyone else would have received a failing grade and a complementary paddling during their formative years for (continuously) failing to make a distinction you learn about inà oh, the first month or so of English class.

I mean good lord have some self respect.
Shall we begin with your use of "I mean"? Most grammarians would inform you that when engaged in discursive speech it is assumed that you are the conveyor of the message. "I mean" is wholly superfluous in this instance. Your use of "good lord" is likewise sub-par. Exclamations invoking deities are proper -- indeed they proceed in Western culture from the opening lines of the Iliad -- but as you are indubitably referencing the Judeo-Christian entity, you are therefore referencing a particular individual. In this case, capitalization is in order.
Please ladies and gentlemen, address these uncouth tendencies in the finely-typed congress of these, our hallowed forums and our --ahem-- sadly-appellated "chatlogs."

Good sir, if you seek to accuse me of diacritical impropriety from beneath your mold festooned bridge, it is entirely your onus to point to the point (jolly good I say, jolly good) in question.
Before you remark upon my demarcations around quotation marks, however, you may wish to peruse rule number two on the fine web page linked below.

I know how quotation marks work, thanks. I was referring to the heinous use of "--" everywhere. If you turned something in like that to a tenth grade non-honors English class, it would come back covered in red pen.
