I find that it's easy, when writing rapidly to make errors. There v.s. their for example. I go back and look at it later and I see my error. It's also been 30 plus years since I had a grammar class....

Ya know, I tend to write in lower case. That probably drives some of you crazy. I also break up sentences or paragraphs online so it is easier to read, even though it may not be grammatically...
