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

people honestly do not know the difference between “your” and “you’re”. This is in real life, not online. Using your example, rockermcr, these people do not understand the fundamental difference between 16 and -16. It’s not only kids; I have seen several adults make it in company e-mails. Aren’t these e-mails supposed to be professional? This is something they should have learned in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
