Maybe it's the grammar Nazi in me, but it really bugs me when people mix up "your" and "you're." What's really mind-boggling is that most of the people I notice making this mistake have at least a high school education.
If you've graduated high school and have not yet conquered this daunting aspect of the English language, all hope is not lost. This free tutorial (a $100 value!) will get you up to speed in no time.
Contrary to popular belief, "your" and "you're" are not, in fact, interchangable. Let's take a look at how they differ:
- "Your" indicates possession, as in "I'm going to put my foot up your ass.
- "You're" is a contraction of "you are," as in "You're about to learn the meaning of pain."
So as you can see, it is not at all difficult to determine which is correct in any given situation. In other words, this is elementary grammar that any fourth grader should know. Get it right.
Oh, and if you use "ur" as a substitue for either, because you're too lazy to type a few more characters, then "ur" a fucking moron.
