Why do lots of people have bad grammar? For example, typing the word 'are' when they should be typing 'our' (Northern English accent responsible?) confused between the words 'as' and 'has', etc.?

Pure laziness.

It's all out hammering the fundamentals of spelling and grammar into those little malleable heads ASAP in our underfunded sub-par educational systems.

I assure you that if you see any of that from me it is purely typing incompetence.

"lots" is a grammatical error.

You are all taking the easy way out. Kids have been taught; I teach 8th grade in an urban district and know have been taught NUMEROUS times how to use proper grammar. It seems to be a more willful disregard of conventional rules of society. Like, "I don't have to play the game by your rules" type of thing. At least, this is for the kids. As for the adults... well, who knows? Same attitude?

I think if it's typing you're refering to a lot of people (at least I do) type quicker than they're thinking, so I sometimes type are instead of our, not because I don't know better but because my fingers are trying to get ahead of my thoughts and I don't have time to think in good English before it's on the screen. I usually reread what I have typed, but sometimes miss basic mistakes. To and too is a one people confuse often, and a lot of people genuinely don't know the difference. I'm sure as and has must be a genuine typo, unles you can find somebody who confuses the two
