To/too doesn't bother me so much, just like then/than, but your/you're and their/they're do. 'They're' and 'you're' are contractions of two different words and are in no way interchangeable with their or your. It's just flat out laziness to not use those correctly. However, to/too and then/than are a lot easier to get confused so it's much more excusable. I would never point out those two being used incorrectly, but I will point out their/they're or your/you're.

It also bugs the shit out of me when people shorten words or use single letters in place of a word. Come on people, you are saving yourself 2 or 3 letters, are you really that goddamn lazy? "hey wat r u up 2?" is not acceptable grammar you lazy piece of shit.
