I'm in agreeance. Anyone that can't consistently utilize the correct form of your/you're and their/there/they're should not be allowed to move beyond the level of Peon, 3rd class.

Using "of" instead of "have" is the worst.

Silly people think "would've" and "should've" is "would of" or "should of".

They shouldn't have been hired. (Or is that "shouldn't of" )
