Facebook Status Updates

I am lucky enough to have lots of great Facebook friends.  Family, old school friends I have recently got back in touch with, fellow bloggers, internet companions and people who I know in real life.  You all know I'm a bit of a pedant when it comes to spelling and grammar so sometimes I want to SCREAM when I see status updates such as these:

Disclaimer: Even though these are real status updates from my Facebook news feed, it's all meant as tongue in  cheek and it would be interesting to see if any of the culprits comment below *evil laugh*
