Why don't supposedly educated people know the difference between simple words like

here, hear

have, of ..... (this one especially has me stuffed, people using 'of' instead of 'have' seems to be the norm these days. As in 'I could of gone to the beach' instead of the correct 'I could have gone to the beach.)

lose, loose

no, know

whole, hole

etc etc etc

It annoys me that kids are learning Japanese and various other languages at school, yet struggle with basic English and Mathematics.
Fixed a mistake for you
