Their - There - What is the problem Really?

[glegolo]

Me as being a foreigner shouldn´t really ask this question, but feel that I must anyhow. Why is it that so MANY english spoken people, and I mean people born with english as THEIR native language, cannot use the words THEIR and THERE in the right meaning of the word.

I mean SO MANY people cannot blame that they are being word-blind (dyslexic).... I find it quite amusing to see adults and read how bad it really is. Their use of the word "THEIR" is used completely wrong, and they cannot just see the difference between THEIR AND THERE.

THERE should be a penalty for this I think!!

Shape up.......

One suspects for some of them its lack of schooling beyond primary school

Some maybe dyslexic

And for a lot it may be the spell checker on their device
