Quite often the rest of the question is properly spelt and punctuated so why do these two words cause problems?

Because they two sounds very similar many -
(1)those who left school long time ago and not involved in a situation where grammar is very important ,and
(2) a lot of professionals in a science subjects -
are quite often happy when the listener understands what they are talking. Grammar is not seen with much important in sciences as in literature.

I dont know, but it is enought to make me lose my mind when I consider how loose people are with their language skills.

I don't know, but it's "spelled" not "spelt".

I find it annoying. One could also ask why they don't know the difference between 'your' and 'you're', 'there' and 'their', 'fewer' and 'less', 'who' and 'whom', 'practice' and 'practise' and 'eggplant' and 'aubergine'.
