Guest Cowboy Dan Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 "Your" 1. Used as a modifier before a noun: your boots; your accomplishments. 2. A person's; one's: The light switch is on your right. 3. Informal. Used with little or no sense of possession to indicate a type familiar to the listener: your basic three-story frame house."You're" Contraction of you are.I learnt this in primary school, how come there are still fully grown men on this board who make this error constantly?

Aileen Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 to be fair, it pisses me off quite a bit when people make mistakes like that though. but then, that just comes from being an english student and having such things drilled into my head. i guess it's not so important on a message board, it wouldn't bother me so much to make a thread about it, but still, nice to know i'm not the only one to notice such things.

Alkaline Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 To be fair what annoys me most is arrogant wankers who think they know it all. But what pleases me most is that those self-same guys/gals will most likely end up getting whats coming to them sooner or later either by someone giving them the hiding of their sad pathetic life or via a total wake-up call when they realise that in the grand scheme of things they will never be anything more than just a mild irritance to most people and will have little or no impact on the majority of people who's paths they cross.Give it up Sam you tosser, i've been told by a few folk that you really aren't as bad in real life as you are on here, but i'm really finding that hard to believe.

Alkaline Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I think we're all forgetting fundamental human error either through lapses of concentration or through tiredness, and also through speed of typing. Some things are quicker to type i.e 'your' is quicker to type than 'you're' or 'you are'. Can tho holier-than-thou amongst us really say that they've never made a spelling mistake in their lives?
