Get over it. I type my responses quickly (average 194 words p/m) and
rarely proof read them. I will frequently type your instead of your're
and thats not going to change. I will also sometimes type their instead
of there and vice-versa. I prefer to read and respond to more messages
than waste time editing/correcting when dealing with an informal forum
like usernet and when the errors rarely affect the point being
discussed. 

You must have a terrible time with SMS!
