You're vs. Your
They're, There, Their
Weird, not wierd
I was proofreading a friend's college application essay, and it was riddled with mistakes like that. No wonder why he only has a community college as a safety school. |

Eh, I don't use their. And I don't use too and to correctly.
I usually don't mistake You're and your, but I do sometimes when I just don't care.
And I don't see how you can *crag* up weird |

Knowing the stuff people learn about I before E and such, weird is an oddity. |

Theirs some thing people can't fix. I don't find it that big of a deal at all. I dislike punctuation errors more. I guess you're issues are diffrent from mine :/ |

Things like this happen all the time. It even happens in other languages.
In Dutch, for example, the word for "wanted" is "wilde", but everyone started saying "wou" for the similarity with other verbs. That happened so much that it was actually ACCEPTED into the language officially. |

I don't get why people are so illiterate sometimes. I mean, if they go to a school that teaches anything grammar-based, they are supposed to be able to learn from it. |

It's okay, that's happened more times than I can count in my country over the past 30 years or so. |

Yeah. It's not after C, and it doesn't have a long A sound.
I have spoken. |
