The reality is they don't know the difference which is why they write it wrong every single time. It only takes .02 seconds use the correct form. America's educational system is a joke.

The sad thing is, I talk to a person from Germany on a daily basis and their english is better than most Americans. English isn't even their first language but they still grasp the concept of "your" and "you're" better than most people I know. It says a lot about our country.
