Your/you're

Is it too much to ask that people know the difference? I don't know why it bothers me so much. Ever UR is better than using the wrong one.

It seems pretty easy, right? apostrophe = contraction. I hate when people don't know "John and I" vs "John and me" and that's even harder!

I don't know why, but the your/you're makes me think less of a person. Are people so used to spouting mindless dribble that the fingers engage before the brain? And it's not like it's etched in stone, we can make corrections so that we're using the right one!
