A lot of common grammatical and spelling mistakes in every language are way more common among native speakers than people who aren't native speakers.

I notice several native English speakers don't know how to use "your" and "you're" properly or "there" and "their". But those mistakes aren't so common among non-native English speakers who are highly fluent in the language, from my observation. Probably because when you're young and learning English in school you'll get yelled at by the teacher for not knowing when to use "your" or "you're" and "there" or "their", while native speakers don't think much about grammar rules and take their own language for granted.
