you're or your

Hi

I have seen some " white" people write this:

Your beautiful! 

or

Youre beautiful!

Shouldn't it be :

You're beautiful!

But I'm very curious - what does "white people" have to do with it?

The correct form is obviously "you're". You're beautiful! However, "Your beautiful!" sounds the same as the contraction "you're", and it's so common on the net that sometimes I even think it actually looks better, LOL. I'm afraid the majority of "you're" on Youtube comments are spelled "your"... it must be because it's faster to type. On the other hand, I've seen people with an average of above average education who seem to use "your" pretty frequently anyway. Either common typos or many people think "your" is an informal spelling for "you're".
And Black people have nothing to do with "your". But I guess they can say "You beautiful, shorty!" (no verb to-be in African American English)

Don't get me started... too late.

How about people who don't know the difference between then and than?
Or there, their, and they're?
Or too and to?
Or its and it's?


Granted, sometimes their just making a mistake but than again they're are way to many four them all too be typos. I'm telling you, its more then I can take sometimes.

As a native speaker who types around 70 words per minute, I can tell you that when I type, I "think the words" in my head and it comes out my fingers. I will very often type "whose" when I mean "who's" and "your" when I mean "you're" and other similar sound-alike errors because my hands can't go as fast as my brain but they are trying madly to transcribe what I"m thinking.  I think I've even typed "here" for "hear" for the same reason.

I almost never make these errors when writing longhand, I guess because it's a different process - my brain MUST slow down to not get ahead of my slow-moving pen.

I'll take "your" as a mis-typing of "you're" over "ur" ANY day!
