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

See I don’t understand how someone typing quickly could confuse there with their. It’s just so hard to even mix those up! And whenever I read something like that, I cringe. I don’t mind your for you’re as much b/c I understand (not really) that people can be lazy and don’t want to type the extra ’ and ‘e’. But seriously for words like there and their, how do you mix those up? It just plain doesn’t sound right!
