Your/You're

[agentmanningctu]

I'm tired of seeing people say stuff like "Your an idiot". I'm not a grammar Nazi, but I see this 100x a day. Ridiculous. This is like third grade grammar!

Your shows possesion. "your dog ran away"

You're is a contraction for you are. "You're an idiot"

Well, I am a Grammar Nazi. 😛

It does get very annoying, and the main people that do it are the idiot kids of today that could care less about using the correct form of grammar/spelling.

I will be a grammar Nazi in 5-6 years when I start teaching. Lol

Hmm. If I condemned everyone for making grammar mistakes that I think are completely obvious, then I'd never post any nice messages.

 

[agentmanningctu]

I post nice messages, only because I don't like getting mad at people. It's no fun.

I'm a big fan of nice messages myself. I am capable of violent outbursts, though; I've been in a foul mood the past few days, so I've had a couple. I feel bad. 🙁

You don't have to stay away. Just don't do anything I don't like, or you'll find your severed head on a pike. 😉

This really annoys me actually, it's bloody obvious which one to use as well.

 

[Ascent]

It will never stop.

 

[cityStatic]

I didn't know that your supposed to use you're to show possession and your to say you are!

It seriously bugs me when this happens.

Guys, I really hate to be a jackass, but it'd be nice if you wouldn't call yourself Grammar Nazis when some of your posts would look like bloody handkerchiefs if I red penned them. By no means am I saying that I'm more intelligent than you guys are, but grammar is basically my life.

 

[agentmanningctu]

Show me! Show me!

 

[Deleted member 1609]

Nooo! I don't like being a jerk. 🙁

 

[agentmanningctu]

Whatever I have said in the last few days doesn't count. I've been on stuff for my cold/bronchitis/flu-ish symptoms.

That's not that bad, you know. I dislike it when people post a comment saying "you spelled something wrong" or "that's bad grammar" etc. and then in their reply, they make a grammatical or spelling error as well. That's just annoying.

That is like some guy walking by all slow and cool, and then he trips. I love it :lol:
