How come so many people are unable to spell simple words?

It's especially funny when people say things like

"I'd rather be pissed off then pissed on"

My favorite is "your a idiot".

English is an odd language, I don't envy non natives learning it. I think the Germans make it easier in terms of spelling and rules, I rarely hear them say "It is pronounced like this, except in these situations" which English is full of examples. Tomb, comb, bomb, was one I cannot imagine explaining to people.

Ah, but the German language gets you back in other ways, like how many ways can you say 'the'

And then apply these rules to objects which, to a native English speaker, seem to have had their gender assigned at random! Trying to learn this aspect of German grammar was the biggest headache for me.

Every language has its own difficulties. Nobody can master a language, not even native speakers.

"Could of", "should of", these are some of the most common and insanely annoying mistakes made on forums. How do people who are otherwise good at writing get this horrible linguistic misconception into their heads?

I wonder if the people who make those mistakes are even aware that they are mistakes.
