Perhaps reading out loud what you write could help? I'm pretty sure you
don't pronounce "you're" the same as you pronounce "your".

I am pretty sure he does pronounce them the same, otherwise he would not
make that mistake.

Do British people pronounce "you" and "your" the same way?

Indeed, the pronounciation is pretty similar.
Much like the way every known human pronounces "flower" and "flour"
identically.
On the other hand, I frequently get "make" and "made" mixed up, for an
entirely different reason. :-/
Basically I suck at writing...

Many of us pronounce "you're" and "your" the same, myself included. It's a very
common mistake to get them confused in writing.
(excusable? no. common? yes. ;-)

That's what I do to remember numbers. Say them out loud so I can hear
them. That way there are two input paths ;)

So, am I not human or am I not known? I do pronounce them differently.
flower is a clear 2 syllable word whereas flour is almost a one syllable
word for me. Subtle but definitely not identical.
Or do you mean that I pronounce the Dutch words for flower (bloem) and
flour (bloem) the same? Because that is indeed the case.

Nothing a good editor would not catch. I have a different problem: the
good editor catches nothing.
