recent news: more annoyances added, reply to others on the rantbox, contact should work...
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.

rant box - let it all out
Luke T said On the then/than page, surely instead of, "You're more ugly than everyone," you meant to say uglier? 
Amanda said looooooooove this website... that video of Ross is hilarious too :)
Teapeagirl said What a wonderful page!
Great place to add your rants. I am Swedish and living in Australia. I couldn't possibly count the number of grammatical mistakes I have seen since my arrival two years ago. They pop up everywhere! In TV ads, newspapers, on road signs, in clothes shops, at the vegetable market... you name it.
The collective knowledge and usage of English in this country has actually been shocking. I mean it!
Just a few examples for you: Garage sale's, tomatoe's, cd's, trouser's. (Cringe!) A sign that I pass every morning as I drive in to Tweed Heads reads: Tweeds best pie's.
I try not to look.
Tez said May I add this to the Rant Board...
THERE IS NO VERB "TO GET" in the English language, in any of its Infinite varieties.
"Gotten" drives me to distraction!
Tamara said I'm thinking 'whether' and 'weather' is mistaken a lot, that should be one of the annoyances :]
Angelo said The worst: "Come over to are house"... "Thats are plan!"
Angelo said M3ta, while you're putting Anon down for his incorrect use of "your", please don't use a word
like "wrongly".
Sennacherib said Does it bother anyone else when others never capitalize any of their words?
Argh said I hate in songs when they sing "inside OF". NO. NO 'OF'.
Spelling Facist said The thing I can't stand is when this error is made on public documents. I saw a film with subtitles that used 'your' incorrectly. *crying and shaking*

» Anon replied Shame you two support the supression of groups of peoples.
