"Your" and "You're"
"Your" and "You're"
Can people please learn the difference between "your" and "you're"?
Your is used when referring to something that belongs to someone – "Your ass looks massive in that skirt".
You're is used as an alternative to "you are" – "You're kidding yourself if you think you can get away with that skirt".
Can we please get this right?

Why start now, gringo? Seems to be an epidemic. Noone else seems overly interested. People like us who point it out are grammatical nazis.

I dunno, i think "you're ass" is a pretty good description of some posters.gringo wrote:Can people please learn the difference between "your" and "you're"?

I wouldn't let grammar get in the way of a good post.
typos happen, particularly after a few cans and a bad loss.

Not everyone is an educational scholar here so minor grammatical confusions are going to happen.
Respect basic forum rules of no sms speak, no caps(unless your yelling, or grassy having a rant ) and use punctuation to separate your sentences.
BASICALLY.......Just so long as its understandable.
For instance...
"dis iz coolz i luv da bomers loyddy iz mi hiro lulz k bie"
NOT ACCEPTABLE...WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS FLAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(see caps = angry)

Why is it a problem to expect someone to spell correctly or to use the correct grammar?Essendon4eva wrote:Let me ellaborate.
We are not writting essays here, so I for one, do not pay attention too my grammar. I think we all know where the apostrophe goes, but can't be f***** worrying about if we put it in or not.
Is it really that hard to read your posts before you submit?
