For example, English speakers commonly mix up your/you're or there/their/they're. I'm curious about similar mistakes in other languages.

    In Swedish people often confuse de/dem(they/them kind of) and I honestly don't know exactly when to differentiate. You often learn to replace the word with another like vi/oss(we/us) to see if the sentence still sounds good and then you know the form you should use

      And even worse, using personal pronouns exclusively in subject form, e.g. "till han" ("to he") instead of in object form where suitable, e.g. "till honom" ("to him").
