"Your" and "You're"


Hidey

Recommended Posts

Do you use the right form?

 

"your" being possessive,

"you're" being a contraction of "you are"

 

and, what do you think about the fact that so many people use the wrong form?

The correct form is "yer," ya silly filly.

 

Yer really gay.

Yer, that's what I dun!

Yer, yer bet yer ass that's right!

I always use the correct form unless it's a typo. I honestly can't take people seriously when they misuse your and you're. It's like it makes their entire message useless. I know that sounds kind of extreme, but so does not knowing the difference between your and you're. It's not rocket science.

A simple thing such as your and you're shouldn't be too difficult to learn.

 

And if I have ruined you're day, I'm sorry.

 

 

I actually wrote "your" on the first try but I WANTED to get it intentionally wrong, even then it's difficult for me. x_x

 

 

 

 

It's not rocket science.

I'm very anal about punctuation and spelling, so even though it annoys me I go back and edit it. The only times I don't is when I'm so lazy you could steal my PC from right under my nose and I wouldn't give a damn. :wacko:

*Grits teeth* IT IS A BUCKING DISGRACE WHEN PEOPLE FROM ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRIES USE THE WRONG FORM! IS THEY'RE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM?!

 

 

Even if it's a joke,this still makes me mad.  :okiedokielokie:

 

I just want to come to your house and edit that shit.

I am a huge grammar nazi. I love theoatmeal's comics on grammar.

My biggest pet peeve is when you're, your, their, their, and there are used incorrectly. I often wonder if they even tried passing grade school. My ex-best friend got "i do wat i want" tattooed across her chest in size 800 font. Notice the prefix "ex". I couldn't bring myself to talk to her after that.

I do use the correct form (or at least i try to, i make typos and errors when i'm tired or confused as English isn't my primary language). Don't get me wrong, i do think it's important to write neatly and properly as possible, but at the same time i think you're being obsessive over a single menial issue if you can at least understand a point that's being driven.
