The one that gets me is the " 'I' before 'E' except after 'C' " rule 
It blatantly doesn't work... "Their" is a good example... according to that rule above it should be spelt "thier" ?
Also the word "weird"....

ROFL @ passiongrammar
I too also hate the "brought" / "bought" stupidity - pisses me right off!
I BOUGHT a car, and I BROUGHT it to your house to show you..... Simple!!!!
I don't get how people think they went to the shop and BROUGHT an apple - do they also ask the shop keeper;
"I'd like to BRY this apple please"

Apart from the non-capitalisation, so only 7/10 from me I'm afraid
Some more:
Except & Accept
Affect & Effect
Your instead of You'll (quite common on here...)
