So technically, the correct usage of 得 for run very fast is 跑得很快 - why are there so many Baidu hits for 跑的很快 and 跑地很快?

Question

Is there 的, 地 and 得 confusion among native speakers as well or am I missing some subtleties of the language?

Answer 1

跑得很快-correct

跑的很快-wrong, because the phrase should be:V + 得 + adv +adj

跑地很快-wrong because the phrase should be: V + 得 + adv. + adj.

For example:

唱得很好

说得很好

跳得很好

Answer 2

跑得很快：is the standard way in grammar of V.+得+ Adv.

跑的很快：could be the simplified way in speaking. The original structure is this: 跑的^速度很快

No sense about 跑地很快. in grammar, Adv.+地+V. 很快地跑

Anyway, you are right. 的，地，得 they are subtle in grammar. But they are almost the same pronunciation in speaking.
