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

^^I don’t see how anyone could confuse the concepts of their and there. I fully understand the differences myself, but there have been (fortunately rare) times when I looked back at something I typed and saw the wrong one staring back at me. When typing fast or not paying close attention, it basically “felt” okay when I typed it because it sounded okay. That “error” alarm bell in the back of the brain just failed go off, because the sentence sounded fine.
