All these, of course, pale into insignificance when compared with the
confusion between "your" / "you're" and "its" / "it's". Aaargh!!
On the same kind of theme, I always see "shopfitter" as "shoplifter"
and can't, for the life of me, see "coworker" as anything but "cow-orker".
There are a lot of people orking cows out there.
