Their vs. there vs. they're

English is not my first language but I did my best to become as fluent as possible. And I find it strange and mildly annoying when so many native speakers are so careless with their spelling.
Their = belonging to them
There = answers the question "where?"
They're = they are.

And no, I'm not a grammar Nazi, but this is very basic!

Most of my more youthful countrymen, were ill educated. at best
they breezed through schools that were more interested in graduation statistics
than teaching. They tend to read nothing longer than a paragraph.
They never have a second language
