For example, English speakers commonly mix up your/you’re or there/their/they’re. I’m curious about similar mistakes in other languages.

    I am guilty of doing that but only because my computer keyboard doesn’t have an ñ.

      or configure your keyboard as English international, dead tildes. You can use ~ with an n to produce an ñ. At least in gnu/Linux that’s easy to do

      Use double n, that’s the archaic way of spelling that (tilde derives from n on top of another n)

      For people on Linux, hit [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[u] then type [0] [0] [f] [1]. That will enter an ñ when you hit the next key.
