I think that one is totally subconscious... For me at least... :)
As my native alphabet is phonetic, I used to read "your" and "you're"
differently. (Actually, I still do pronounce them like "your" and "yoor"
most of the time. :) )
I used to never mistype those words until I learned that they were
pronounced differently. Since then I started making typos of that sort.
The same happens with "should've" vs. "should of". *Some* people make
those mistakes not because they don't know. It happens subconsciously as
they type fast.
