Countable vs uncountable nouns, e.g. “number of people” not “amount of people”.
Also people who spell “led” as “lead” (Angrily starts frothing at the mouth.)

You’re = You are (the apostrophe takes place of the A in are). “You’re a great person. You’re welcome.”
Your = Belonging to “Your dog. Your life. It will break your heart.”
