To whomsoever it may concern. 
Why do you keep saying 'to' when in fact you should be saying 'too'
Here is an example where 'too' and not 'to' should be used
"It works great, TO bad it is just for them and not the rest of society".
Here it should be 'TOO' and not 'TO'.

Then there are who keep saying 'I use to'. It should be 'I used to' You are right about many here that do not know when to say 'there' and when to say
their'
Their book
That book there is theirs - just correct examples

I did not say I did not understand but if one can subtly bring it to the notice of those who may not be aware I think such a situation would be welcome. I would not mind if I am corrected too,subtly though

There are far too many really. I too have noticed about that loose and lose weak and week .......................I would blame it on this mysterious language called English but we have avenues to learn. Practice makes it perfect.

These errors are mostly seen among those whose native language is English

@allknowing I know. I have seen many native speaking people that write "I would of" instead of "I would have"

@marguicha I know why they do that. They start learning the language phonetically.unlike others who get their grounding in a school.

When this is seen in posts written by native speakers it is a matter for concern specially when I have read somewhere that many depend on them to learn English here.

@pgntwo We are not allowed to point out mistakes and that is the problem. Typos cannot be helped but lack of kinowledge is a serious concern.

@allknowing I agree - sometimes a typo happens, or a spell-checker doesn't... You make a valid point, one to which there is no solution.

No. It is not a mistake. They seriously think that is the right way
