learn the rule: your / you're
- your is a possessive adjective, indicating ownership of something
- That is your sock.
- Where is your potato?
- you're is a contraction (combination) of you and are
- Do you know what you're doing?
- You're stupid.
- The two are not interchangeable.
- Getting it wrong makes you look stupid. And ugly.
still confused? let ross explain it for you.

Hiyah! said how about people who don't use "an" in front of a noun that starts w/a vowel??? drives me crazy!

I Love Britney Spears. said 'Your A Cutie, Defiantly (:', 'Your Alot Beautiful', 'I Love You're Eyes There/Their Soooo Cute(:'

Rob said A Joke:
Sister Joan and Sister Mary are driving their car down a lane when suddenly the Devil appears and jumps onto the front of their car.
"Quick Sister Mary, show him your Cross!" says Sister Joan. Sister Mary takes her Cross out of her pocket and points it towards the Devil who instantly screams in agony and disappears down a hole in the ground.
Not funny at all. However, replace the "Your" with "You're" and see what happens...
"Quick Sister Mary, show him you're Cross!" says Sister Joan. Sister Mary winds down the passenger side window, sticks her head out, looks at the Devil and says "Get off the f*cking car!"
Angry Pedant said Please add "been" vs "being" to these gems!

» It's Not Hard As A First Langu replied I'd have to say since I've been an internet junkie my grammar has been greatly improved. Not on the "your and you're" stand point, because that is way too easy of a rule. However, the "then and than" usage corrections has improved my grammar immensely. However, Suken Caaca can easily say that people on the internet are faggots, because obviously Suken does not appreciate the value of proper use of the English language. This person obviously does not understand the value of intelligence, but beyond that does not even appreciate it. And just so said person understands that my main intent is trying to insult them, I think they are ignorant douche bags.
» Hiyah! replied love it! thanks for the laugh!
