Some of the errors might be typographical errors (e.g. to/too), sometimes they overlooked, but I'm sure there are people who don't know the difference between various homophones.
"Defiantly" might arise from spell check replacing a mispelling of "definitely." Still that is two mistakes 1) a mispelling and 2) not paying attention to spell check. I think it comes down to not being careful what one writes. When I see those mistakes I kinda wonder how many people actually take time to do a quick proof reading of what they write.
