I don’t know how many times I’ve seen the words in the title used incorrectly. Heck, I’ve even made the same mistakes. So, quick lesson in English grammar.
Don’t say “loose” when you really mean “lose”. You “lose a wallet” but “a screw is loose”.
Don’t say “your” when you really mean “you’re”. It’s “your home” is different from “you’re home”. The former means you own/live in the home but the former means you’ve arrived home.
Don’t say “its” when you really mean “it’s”. “It’s rainy outside” is different than “its battery charger”.

certainly mistypes are one of the worst mistakes you can make, I always carefully read my posts before publishing them to evade that.

The “its” vs “it’s” one is a habitual error for me. I think its because for most things you put the apostrophe in when something belongs, e.g. this blog’s, so you feel like it’s should mean something that belongs to it…
Out of all the mistypes my most common one is ‘teh’ instead of ‘the’
