I don't know, but a lot of people in this thread seem to suggest that it's them not being a native speaker that's the problem.

In my experience it's actually the opposite, so many native speakers mess up things like your/you're, it's insane. Well, any time something is off about the English grammar on the internet, we blame the American education system.

Sometimes it's funny, though. Like "for all intensive purposes".

The thing is, it's not a "bone apple tea" moment, having only heard it vs reading. It's a single word, and a fairly simple thing to memorize the difference between "fail/forget" and "release/relaxed/wobbly", but... people are generally pretty stupid, and the truth is scary, so here we are. 🥲
