That is endlessly frustrating to me. Spelling average words incorrectly and mistaking homophones isn't "informal", it's just wrong. I can sort of see where you're coming from with using shorthand in texts and IMs, but when it comes to "your" and "you're", there's no excuse not to know the difference.
Fun fact: every time I see someone on facebook say something like "It's you're turn", I always read it as "It's you are turn".
