Pet peeve, but I do not lose (not 'loose') sleep over, because I don't let it affect (not 'effect') my life adversely.
This too shall pass.

I blame it on a lack of reading.  Should've sounds like Should of, so if people don't see it written out, they don't realize that it is a contraction of should have.
