I heartily agree, and I see it in half the fanfics I've read as well as in posts. I also see things about 'fits of peak' which make me cringe just as much, if not more. That's why the entry for pique, peak, and peek in my main post has pique in bold. Everyone seems to have heard it, but clearly many people don't understand it's a completely separate word.
(This would actually be a usage issue rather than a spelling or grammar issue. Now I think of it, maybe this should be called "Handy Usage Guide")

Importance of Usage
I have a spelling checker,
It came with my PC,
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I've run this poem threw it,
I'm sure your please too no,
Its letter perfect in it's weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

That is just shiny, PR. It makes my brain hurt to read it, though.

One word in particular I have seen misspelled several times lately in various posts.
People, nothing can PEAK your interest. Your interest may peak when you finally experience the event in question, but until then your interest has been PIQUED.
We miss you here. It was a better place to be when you were here.
