Don't even get me started on peoples spelling and grammar. Now i know people suffer from dyslexia but there are people who are just down right stupid and can't spell and it annoys the shit out of me and i find myself holding myself back from saying anything when i see facebook comments.

A common one i see is 'are' instead of 'i'll' such as "I don't think are go to football today"

There are so much more but i'll be here all day.

*peoples'  
*I (x4)
*I'll
*downright
*so MANY more

Along the same lines of The spelling and grammar theme, are parents that spell their child's names like how they are said.

For example, Jazzmin and Leeam (Liam)

People commit all kinds of crimes with names (Shere Khan, for crying out loud), so the corruption of spellings is the next step I suppose.

Nope.

'Some peoples spelling' makes 'peoples' possessive. Hence the need for an apostrophe.

An apostrophe indicating possession would normally go before the s. However, the word 'people' is an irregular plural (It doesn't end with an s), which means that the apostrophe is placed after the s.  Smiley

That's not quite right I think.
