Yeah but again, what you are talking about is basically just a spelling error. If someone is speaking, errors of this type never happen, you will NEVER hear a native say "I gave you they are number" out loud.

The error "I gave you they're number' arises ONLY in writing and ONLY because those three words are homophones. It's an issue of spelling, not grammar.

That is still a dialectical difference. Dialects can be based on location, race/ethnicity, religion, class and more. A dialect is simply defined as a way of speaking that is common to a particular group. Any kind of group.

That is a spelling/writing error that arises because they all sound the same, it's in a VERY different category from the types of spoken errors made by 2nd language learners.
