Why do so many people confuse "your" and "you're"

I don’t think it’s so much they make the mistake because they don’t know the difference, but because they are typing quickly in informal places (like this forum!). I’m sure i’ve made the mistake (though i’m usually pretty good at catching it).

But who really cares? Again this is an informal forum, i think it’s ridiculous when people start having a fit because of some grammar mistake (I’m not talking about the OP, but in general), just let it go.
