Why are these words so hard for so many people to get right? These are similar words that I frequently see misused in various online forums. They are not words that only someone with an advanced degree would be expected to know.
I've seen these long before most people started using phones with autocorrect to communicate online.
This happens even when the writing is generally accurate and typo-free and it appears the person is fluent in English (I give a pass to anyone who is clearly making an effort to communicate in English as second language).
