So, people who regularly make these word substitutions, (a) never knew the proper way, (b) forgot the proper way, (c) don't care ?

Reading such texts causes mental dissonance sometimes. For example, you read "who think their female ..." and you mentally construct a meaning, and then comes the next word and ruins it: "who think their female enough".

As a non-native English speaker, I'd like to understand why so many native English speakers so often misuse words like their/ there/ they're?

Yup. Here it is: -

Food is an important element in building the human body. -

They have identical DNA, like homozygous twins, and the bodies are similar, but different. Especially, the brains. You can check many studies of homozygous twins. They help to distinguish between genetic vs. environmental effects on development. -
Postulating a Basis for Belief in a Technological Afterlife
Genady replied to Bob Cross's topic in General Philosophy
No, it is impossible because DNA has only part of the information necessary to reconstruct the body and the brain. The other part, which is interactions with environment during development, got lost. Without this other part, you don't have enough information to reconstruct the body and the brain. -

A technological speed bump. Obviously, I don't have the details figured out yet. Stone age men didn't have the blueprints for jet engines either. I did not point to something that needs more details. I pointed to a mistake. -
I would like to have a debate with someone that claims math is 'real'
Genady replied to deema78's topic in Mathematics
Math is not real. It is above that. -

There are infinitely many prime numbers if a bang happened or not. -
I'm sorry, but where is "a reason for existence" mentioned in the OP?

I know that there are some restrictions for the first 24 hours after signing up, as anti-spammers protection. Maybe it is one of them, I don't know. Otherwise, you could message admins/moderators.

This is not how DNA works. DNA does not contain information for reconstructing our bodies. The only way to use DNA to get a body is to let it go through the entire developmental process. And then, the result will depend on both DNA and the developmental environment, which surely will be different from the original. So, the "reconstructed" body will be different from the original. This includes the brain. The "reconstructed" brain will be different from the original. Thus, it will not fit the stored contents of the original brain. -

frequency times wavelength = speed of light p = E/c = hf/c = h/l

Rather, p = hv/c = h times frequency / speed of light

will our body remove foreign object by itself if not treated?
Genady replied to kenny1999's topic in Medical Science
I still don't understand the second half of the song. Why would the goat catch the dog, the cow catch the goat, and the horse catch the cow? What kind of animal behavior is this? Do they ALL have issues? -

That raises another question, perhaps for another thread: did the old lady have a medical condition known as Pica? Pica (disorder) - Wikipedia
