I don't think that its overreacting at all. A lot of times, people are ignorant to the fact that they're wrong in such a situation, and make the same mistake time and time again. When many people make an error involving their/they're/there or your/you're, they aren't aware of the differences and use them improperly. English might have the largest vocabulary out of every language in the world, but not caring about the most simple usage of words is simply ridiculous.
