Your vs. You're

[kstu]

Over the past week or so, I've noticed a drastic increase in misuse of your/you're. A quick lesson to help out the fools:

Your is the second person possessive adjective. Example:

Neckarb, your vagina smells like fish.


You're is the contraction of "you are". Example:

Neckarb, you're an ignorant buffoon.


Hope this helps!

That's such a thinly veiled callout you might as well not even have tried. Still not allowed.

Neckarb, your posts are worthless and annoying.

Neckarb, you're retarded.

Thanks for the troll, troll, just a heads up for all other trolls, trolling around for grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. Watch the above video, then move on.

Thanks trolls.

Neckarb out.

fish and chips?
Those aren't chips at all! So... I'm a little worried about this fish. It is fish, right?

I agree but leave the grammar rules at home. In the words of my English 101 teacher, "ya don't gotta know it!"

There's also been a drastic increase in incidences of people misunderstanding the meaning of pedophilia.

The thing about language is that is fluid and dynamic, rules make no sense what talking about something so kinetic, language changes from one day to the next, from one country to the next, from one town to the next. So as long as the person your talking to can understand what your saying then what the issue. Your always going to have people that disagree with your'e opinion, but ultimately it doesn't matter.

You's trolling!

Fluid and dynamic? I think I saw them at the state fair last year.

No, wait...that was .38 Special

I specifically got both your and your'e round the wrong way there ()

Troll Response: Honestly, and I can't stress this point enough, please listen carefully. IDGAS. Goodnight

You just can't stop posting, can you? You truly are every bit of the definition of a troll.

I just wonder what poor forum you were kicked out of before you found ATOT to dump all of your useless drivel. I know you had to come from somewhere, and I bet there is a 100% chance you were kicked off another forum for the same BS you are pulling here.

Now how about vs. versus v.


*cackle*

 

[grrl]

Good job, kstu. Thinly veiled call out thread points out common grammatical misusage AND allows called out troll to provide irrefutable support for coxmaster's example sentences.

*cackle*

Or even the vs. versus versus!

Ha, GrammerNazi, watch this http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/punctuated-equilibrium/2010/oct/24/5, this is Stephen Fry, a master of the english language, explaining this issue far better than I know how.

This makes me want to smack you. Ignorance isn't a crime, but willful ignorance is.

I'm not ignorant, I know the difference what I'm saying is that obsessing over using it correctly is a waste of time and effort what you're sat their typing out a point you don't sit back and think "oh no they're should be an apostrophe their"
