From my experience, only people whose their mother tongue is English make such mistakes.

gornius ,

Because they learned that from hearing, not reading so that makes sense.

How would that make a difference? The words still mean different things... You just have to remember what spelling belongs to what word.

English is not my first not language. When I write something down in my first language (polish), it feels more like I'm transcribing things I silently say to myself, while with english I'm actually thinking about every word I type.

The funny thing is, the better I am getting at English, making those types of mistakes is getting easier for me.

But idk, this is just my experience.

The same way we confuse earnestness with trash clickbait tactics I guess
