This from the demographic that doesn’t know to from too.

Not to mention there/their/they're and your/you're. And, my personal favorite: "should of" (as well as "could of" and "would of.")

This is interesting to me.

I’m aware that a lot of people don’t know the difference between ‘to’ and ‘too’. But I noticed as long ago as the early ‘nineties, when I first got onto the Internet, that there’s an odd tendency to make errors in homonyms when typing/communicating by computer - errors that one would never make with pencil and paper.

All I can think is that there is a different neurological ‘thing’ going on, when we communicate this way, than when we write.

I also think that something similar happens with cell-phone usage while driving. Something very different is going on there, than when someone is simply talking to a passenger who is actually in the car. I’ve almost been killed several times, by people driving while cell-phoning - not even including near misses when people were texting.
