same here, non-native, never understood why this is so difficult for people.. just replace it with 'you are' in your mind to see if it works

The most fascinating thing about that whole your / you're confusion thing is:

It mostly happens to native speakers - or so i've observed..

And yes, it also makes me facepalm a little everytime i encounter it (non-native speaker as well..)

Me too.

When I first heard of this "your/you're" confusion two years ago, I didn't believe it. Now I see it happening every single day.

"Could of" is even worse. Non-native speaker here, too.
