I don’t know why I have to do this, but I think someone has to put up a public service announcement on how to correctly use “Your”. So here…
YOUR denotes ownership. You own a car, therefore it is YOURS.
YOU’RE means YOU ARE. You are a donkey, therefore YOU’RE a donkey.
One would think that this is obvious, that we should know these things. But too often have I seen written work by people my age (22 people…that’s about 15 years after the time you were taught this lesson) who don’t realize that there is a difference in meaning as much as there is a difference in spelling.
I become offended when I see YOUR and YOU’RE mixed up. It’s like an insult to my intelligence. For you to be so ignorant and so lazy as to not even bother to consider if you are using it properly speaks loads on your character. You’re a loser. You should be dead.

i guess im a loser and shot be shot! =P
LOL that’s one of my pet peeves!
Your great for sharing it, you’re sense of grammar is immaculate. (hahahah I had to GO BACK and EDIT to make that wrong!!!)
i conquer…..i mean, concur, with your sentiments
OMG i totally feel you! those are one of the very basic things we learned back in freakn elementary but yet, people always mix it up! GrrrrrrrrRRRRRR.
Don’t you also hate it when people write “a lot” as “alot?” Honest mistake I guess (not really), many people hate writing anyways, let alone care about their spell checks.
dang someone’s angry.
i visit you’re xanga a lot. your so cool.
hahahaha jp jp please dont kill me?
The problem is I think kids are no longer restricted from using abbreviated or contracted words when they are first learning to write and read. I know way back in elementary and secondary school, we are NOT allowed to write “you’re” or any form of contraction or abbreviation in a formal composition EVEN IF IT IS USED CORRECTLY. We actually autofail if the teacher found we used these words in our writing assignments. I was taught this is not good formal writing … but we were allowed to use freely manipulate the language later on with creative writing and story writing.
