There are some mistakes that are so common, they should be inexcusable to professional writers. This is Proofreading 101, folks. I found the flaunting of "your/you're" today on Gizmodo:
The magic happens when an app is programmed to recognize certain objects, and know to augment what your seeing with 3D visuals on top.
These things really shouldn't be happening.

What They Play: Fallout 3
I came across this post quite by accident. Something piqued my interest and I visited this site for the first time. I had heard about What They Play before, but was never interested enough to check it out. Thumbing through their review of Fallout 3, I found the following statement:
Though the game begins in the comforts of a relatively cozy Vault -- where you're told your descendants have lived since a chain of nuclear explosions rocked America 200 years ago -- not long into the game you escape the Vault and enter the Capital Wasteland.
Plain and simply, the character in reference here has no descendants. He's a 19-year-old, wet-behind-the-ears kid who's never even thought of having children. Though it's clear that they simply confused 'ancestors' and 'descendants', this has always been a little pet peeve of mine, as it just doesn't make sense.
