I constantly make the your/you're mistake as well. In Finnish every word is prononounced as it is written, so when I'm typing quickly I sometimes mix words which are pronounced the same but written differently. Also, I sometimes mix he and she, because Finnish only has one gender-neutral pronoun for he/she.

They say that Finnish is the most scarily difficult language to learn, Tuomas. Have you ever met any foreigners who've tried and failed to master it?

donna yr problem really isn't with spelling but correct use.

Finnish is difficult for those who speak Germanic or Romanic languages, because we have a different system - we use case endings instead of propositions/postpositions, and the bodies of the words often change when you conjugate them. People from China or Vietnam, for example, probably don't have that much more difficulties with Finnish than with English.
