3. Try teaching there, their, they're, etc.

to first graders for 15+ years...NOT EASY! Teachers aren't paid enough.

Actually my teacher friend still hand writes "your" instead of "you're". People are too used to computers checking their, they're, there work.

What frustrates me is that my Samsung tablet inserts the incorrect spelling, punctuation after I type it correctly. I have to triple proofread everything and don't have the time. This seems to be a common problem with tablets I hear. Most people ignore it and can't be bothered.
