Yes, and worse still, expressions like "in back of..." and "look it"... YUK! (no disrespect to our Transatlantic cousins intended). I suppose you could say I'm a bit fanatical or obsessive to be so irritated by such a relatively insignificant thing, but I have to say that when I'm reading and am absorbed in a book, it gives my train of thought a real jolt in coming across a mis-spelt word or bad punctuation or poor grammar, which literally leaps off the page at me!
