For me, as non English speaker, its very strange to see such a mistakes. I can not imagine how somebody could mix up your and you're or there and their etc. I mean its stupid mistake even for non English speakers, its unimaginable how English speakers could do such a mistake.
One more that bugs me: too and to... How could someone which is native in English "I like it to" instead of "I like it too"? Its surprisingly common mistake.. I mean too and to even does not sound similar, one is clearly long and one is clearly short word when spoken.
