Thei might knot be from an English speiking country, so giv theim som kredid
Edit: I guess I should have used the /s
From my experience, only people whose their mother tongue is English make such mistakes.
Because they learned that from hearing, not reading so that makes sense.
How would that make a difference? The words still mean different things... You just have to remember what spelling belongs to what word.
English is not my first not language. When I write something down in my first language (polish), it feels more like I'm transcribing things I silently say to myself, while with english I'm actually thinking about every word I type.
The funny thing is, the better I am getting at English, making those types of mistakes is getting easier for me.
But idk, this is just my experience.
Learning from hearing: I'll write down the word that makes this sound
Learning as a second language: I'll write down the translation for the word I know in my native tongue.
