this is kind of a pet peeve with me.  I hate it when people mix these words up.

[Sikotic™]

hahahaha. I used to have trouble with that. They're just so similar. I go out of my way to make sure I type 'then' and 'than' correctly.

my biggest pet peeve is when people write"your" instead of "you're". Rule of thumb => You're = You Are. Your = something that belongs to you (ex: Your spelling sucks vs. You're bad at spelling). Peace

[Mac 10 †]

why do people give a fuck about spelling and grammar?

i tend to read what peoples' opinions and points are rather than if they have correctly spelled everything they typed

anyone else agree?

Also, the collocation of "to come down" is inadequate in your statement. You would have had to say "when it comes to typing". Learn English, please
