"Were" is *mistyped* a lot because it's easy to miss the 'h' when you're typing fast and not realize it in time to fix it. Then of course some people are lazy so if they mistype it, even though they know it's wrong, they don't bother to fix it 'cause it will probably still get the point across.
I, personally, am usually not lazy about typing, but if I'm typing one-handed 'cause I'm eating or talking on the phone I *do* tend to use some short cuts. In these cases I'm already typing twice as slow, so I want to get the message out at least a little closer to my usual typing speed.
