Yeah, he got “you’re” right, but then he had to say “beyong”
rather than “beyond”-—I know, it was a typo, but OTOH, maybe he was going for a Sarah Palin “refudiate” kind of made up word-—he could’ve been going for a combo of ‘being’
and ‘beyond’. And I don’t think a “very,very few” on FR spell “you’re” right, but an alarming number do spell it wrong.Misspellings abound here on FR, so much so that I’ve found I have to be very circumspect when I boldly venture forth to correct someone’s spelling.

You are right about this. If I posted every time I saw a misspelled word on others' posts, I would have hundreds of thousands of posts. I ignore most of them. It's just the repetition of so many misspelled common words annoy me. Almost all of them stem from ignorance of the English language. It's as though people blithely pay no attention to the spelling of words in the material they read that is written by professional writers.

I credit my ability to spell correctly in most instances to lots of reading while in high school, and I therefore don't call upon spell check very often.

So, as you can see, my speling is imaculate.
