I'm pretty sure that the author's first language is not English :) doesn't seem like an unreasonable mistake to make to me

- tail_exchange 2y agoYou may be right, but I think this is a mistake that native speakers are more likely to make. This is just anecdotal, so don't take me too seriously... Mistakes like "your" instead of "you're" and "should of" instead of "should have" seem to be very common for people who learned english by listening instead of reding (native speakers). The words sound the same, so they get switched. On the other hand, as a non-native, I struggle with phrasal verbs, such as "get in" vs "get on", "get out" vs "get off", and so on. These may be very different concepts in English, but not for my native language, so I don't always choose the correct one.
