I would have as much chance of not seeing a typo or grammatical error when reading a book as I would of not noticing a wrong note in a piano piece. Particularly when they are common errors - since instead of as, your for you're, its with a possessive. Such things are not "typos" they are errors based on the ineptitude and poor erudition of the writer.
