It's one of these errors that native speakers are more likely to make than even the beginners with English as a second language :)
- enriquto 6y agoThere's quite a few more examples of that. Like "their/they're", "your/you're" "its/it's"... I can barely speak english but I would never make these errors; how can you confuse a pronoun with a verb?
- lambdaba 6y agoYou don't really, my theory is sometimes the auditory part takes over mid-sentence, whereas when I'm in my usual visual mode the errors stand out immediately.
- enriquto 6y agoProbably... in my case since I never speak nor listen to spoken english it is mostly a written-only language to me.
- lambdaba 6y agoThat's flattering as I'm not a native speaker :)
