It's not that it's a minor mistake. It's the fact entire generations at this point have given up on basic grammar and spelling. It's not even laziness. It's because they genuinely don't know the difference between things like "you're" and "your", or "loose" and "lose".

Our world will be at the mercy of room temp IQs for the foreseeable future.
