The OP should request some free grammar lessons for Father's Day instead. Maybe then, he would know the difference between your and you're, and that not every word ending in S requires an apostrophe.
If he's a dad, I shudder to imagine how poorly educated his children are.
That's uncalled for.
That's especially so because the mistyping of some words could simply be the result of muscle memory rather than not knowing the difference between or among the words. In other words, a person is thinking one word but then types another word. Additionally, there are other reasons for making typing mistakes that are not a reflection of one's level of intelligence. Here's a good blog post on that phenomenon:

Regardless, it's a discussion board. I think the rules of grammar and spelling should not be a focus. And even if they are, to bring a person's children into the conversation is bad form (and that's being charitable).
There's a difference between a "typo" and simply not having the proper knowledge.
Also, I find it very called for. Ignore the fact that his post was simple whining, akin to something today's millennials would write. If you want to be taken seriously in a text-based forum, then you should be able to come across as reasonably intelligent and well-spoken (not necessarily perfect grammar, but something MUCH better than what he wrote). Typing like you rode the short bus to school opens you up to legitimate mockery.
