Names are the worst, if someone can't spell a name properly and they are trying to make a point, then I just can't take them seriously.

The others which I find funny are people ranting about something and gets to a point where they resort to things like "fuck of, you fuckin retord" I just laugh at them.

Part of the problem with English is The amount of accents and slang we have in the UK, Canada, US and Australia, South African English speakers, and all the other English first language nations. Different spelling in each country aswell.

Colour and Color just being one of them, Herbs being Herbs in the UK and Australia but Erbs in Canada and the US.

I used to work with people from eastern Europe and lots of them spoke good English, I noticed all of them were taught "proper" English and were shocked at all the slang etc.

I also worked with a guy from Madrid and he told me there is no slang in Spanish, not 100% that is true but if it is then I can understand how much easier Spanish must be in that respect.

I was also taught German at school and although I'm not fluent I found it extremely easy to learn because of the structure of the language made it easier for me.

I think English although it is quite an easy language to learn, has too many variants, slangs, and differences and that is where all the bad grammar comes from.

Also, English Speakers tend to be lazy with their language and that is where some problems come from aswell I think.
