Typing 'your' for "you're" by most native speakers is neither a typo nor 'ignorance'...as most people with education backgrounds could tell you.
It would be consider a miscue (maybe) but it is simple a mix-up in your head as you type...thinking one thing and typing another. It does not mean that you don't know the difference...it means you were typing too fast and made a mistake.
Calling it ignorance (in most cases) is displaying your own ignorance..or ignoring the reality of the situation so you can make an uncalled for knock against someone.
I firmly believe in this post as I am always typing 'there' for 'their' when writing papers.... |
Right on. Thanks.

Dave has to change your username for you- there's lots of stuff that can be changed in the profile, but your user name isn't one of them. |

turtle...
actually you can't just change your user ID yourself...you need to email dave and ask him...
but keep the helpful advice...and those lovely emoticons coming as it brightens my day when help is so freely given on this wonderful site... |

perhaps you'll have better chance if you brush up on your grammar...
"you're" not "your" |
