Possessive forms of nouns are disappearing from our written language.

A relatively newer peeve of mine is the use of “hype” instead of “hyped.”
“Bro, the team was so hype before the game!”
Just more Ebonics making its way to mainstream and the non-Ebonic people being too stupid to know it’s wrong, so they repeat it.

Less and fewer. It is more common even with relatively educated people which is why it tends to bother me more.
"There were less people there than last week".
Were they really lesser people or were there just fewer?
1. It’s common with relatively educated people because it’s not a true grammatical error. It might be poor style, but the rules regarding “less” and “fewer” are not all that consistent anyway.
2. Your sentence, as written, does not imply that they were “lesser people.” The word “lesser” has a completely different meaning and there is no “few” equivalent of “lesser.”
Less : Little :: Fewer : Few

Affect vs. Effect
Affect is a verb, effect is a noun. It's not hard.

Lose and loose is probably the one I hate most.
Loose for Lose, Pole for Poll, and a few others have been memes on sporting boards since around the ceiling cat/lolcat days.
Not saying that accounts for every misspelling though.

Does it affect you or did it have an effect on you?

Yeah because Southern dialects really stick to the rules of English.
