None of these are spelling mistakes, (apart from fo par) they're the wrong words but spelt correctly.

who gives a toss really...?

I don't get it- apart from the missing capital on who, I can't see the mistake.

Any spelling mistakes I made are usually typos, not intentional. Just me pressing the wrong buttons on the keyboard. Probably the same for most people.

The spelling mistake mentioned in the OP could have been due to typos.

"Not The Nine O'Clock News" did a brilliant skit on this, many years ago. A university student is hauled up before the head, who reads some of his essays. The dialogue goes along the lines of :

"You were asked to discuss the South Sea Bubble. You wrote, 'The South Sea Bubble is the name of a parrot, owned by my Aunt who I live with ... '
Next, we asked for a treatise on the Russian Revolution. You wrote, 'My Aunt, who I live with, has a parrot called The Russian Revolution ...'
When asked to write about the Thatcher Years, you wrote, 'The Thatcher Years is the name of a parrot, owned by my Aunt who I live with ...'

Do you think we're stupid ? Do you think we haven't realised ? It's 'with WHOM I live, my aunt WITH WHOM I live, not 'who I live with' !!.... "

Spelling mistakes and typos I can live with - pig ignorant use of the wrong word is what gets me.

I suppose there is an overlap.

It's the mixing up of they're/their/there that annoys me...

I cant say that spelling mistakes bother me much. Some of them are quite funny. I do get annoyed however with posts that are just one rambling sentence with no punctuation or capitals and you have to read it at least twice before it makes any sort of sense. I cant be bothered reading them.
