Plenty of us type sentences with the word "your" and sometimes leave out the last letter. For example "I love you coat." Why do you think this is?

It's a typo. We consciously mean to type your, but we mistrike a key and "you" is typed instead of "your." The reason that most spell checkers don't catch the error is because even though "your" would be more approriate for the sentence, "you" is still a word and it is spelled correctly. Proofreading is usually the only way to catch that error.

It could be because of the way we pronounce 'your', with less accent on 'r'. Many of us tend to write the way we hear some words, and this might result in our writing 'your' without 'r'!

I haven't noticed this error on this website. What I have noticed is frequent use of "your" in place of "you're" (the contraction of "you are").
