Is it normal your and you're- too and to

I find it VERY annoying when people don't know the difference between you're (you are) and your! Also to, Im going TO the store. And too, I want some TOO. I have a hard time not correcting people when these are used improperly.

    Right on. I don't think it's asking too much for peole to be able to speak and read their own language.

    I'm with you. I think that schools these days just do not care anymore. Back in the sixties it was forced on you to spell it correctly. Also, I can't stand it when people say birfday instead of birthday. It's called laziness.

    Your/You're - To/Too/Two - There/Their/They're
    It's basic knowledge of the English language people! I'm not necessarily bright but I can grasp the simple aspects of my first language. Another peeve is people who can't type words out correctly when texting. I'll forgive things like: lol, tbh, omg. However, if you ever send me: Txt u l8r coz i need 2 go 2 teh shps. I WILL HARM YOU. 'Teh' has the same amount of freaking letters as 'the' for crying out loud!!!

    Bad education. We all rely on spell check. Just like affect/effect.

    this is one of my biggest pet peeves, too. not just with your/you're or to/too but their/there/they're then/than etc. i get angry when someone is trying to type something smart and witty and they can't even use the correct homonyms.

    Speed. So yes normal but still, u can't correct people on them when talking cuz they are HOMOPHONES (the phones gay people use [not meant offensively]) so they sound the same so what ur saying makes no sense.

    I am not a big grammar nazi but the 'too' vs. 'to' thing bugs me pretty bad.

    I feel the same. One grammar mistake can mean the difference between sounding like you're 6 and sounding like you're 20.
