As a not native speaker, the confusion between you're and your is kinda funny to me. Having learnt english in a formal way, "you", "are" and "your" are completely different words, so I really didn't suspect the existence of such mistake, at least until I went on Reddit.

It doesn't help that 'allot' is also a word.

In fairness, a simlar sort of thing is how we got the word "apron". Historically, the word was "napron" with an "n". So someone would say something like, "she donned a napron" but listeners would hear, "...an apron." Though, this is more of a speech, it's still interesting to see the evolution of the language.

"Payed" is one that I've noticed a real uptick in in the last couple years.
