I just read a post on Facebook where someone was talking about her children at mealtimes, meaning to say they're waiting for their pudding, but used "there" both times, as well as your for you are.

Just why?

Well I doubt she's doing it on purpose. I'll just throw it out there and take a punt to say she doesn't realise. Hmm

Perhaps she's not as educated as you.

Let it go. Unless you're being paid to do it, don't fret about other people's grammar.

I mean, if you’re getting this het up about someone else’s SPAG, you should’ve put commas between each ‘why’ in your title. Wink

I’m a pedant but people making mistakes like this in informal writing (including social media posts) is commonplace and really not worth sweating over.

Because she doesn't know any different would be the most logical reason.
