Yes, I see those extremely often too.
These are the traps I, as a foreigner, often have to navigate through. Some are not immediately obvious, thankfully most are.

Funny, I was thinking of that very expression, as related to this conversation, when I was going to bed last night.

As a person who does not speak English as a first language and then putting it into type to boot I can think of a million tough ones like words that have more than one meaning and different spellings but sound the same. Too, to, and two for example. 3 different spellings, 3 different meanings but when spoken there is no difference.
