I don’t consciously look for errors; they jump out at me.

Same here, and that's what I was trying to convey. I was reading that sentence and something in my brain said, "STOP. Re-read that. It didn't make any sense." After two attempts at trying to understand what I had just read, I had to pick the sentence part one word at a time. And then, "ah, there it is. The writer used 'your' instead of 'you're.' And what's with the 'are' at the end of the sentence?"

While it's annoying, I have learned to mostly let it go and keep moving. Life's too short to get too worked up about someone else's poor grammar. (and besides, I no eye due it myself, to, from thyme too thyme.)
