Author Topic: your vs you're  (Read 6347 times)

Seriously people learn you some grammar.

Pretty much everyone, with one or two exceptions use 'your' when they should be using you're. Just think about what you're writing.

See what i did there? Break it up into the two words, you and are, then read it and see which one you should use.

Example:

Quote
Ok good, your in the clan.
WRONG

Just think to yourself, "you are in the clan, yes that makes sense...let's see"

Quote
Ok good, you're in the clan.

Congratulations, you now don't look like an idiot!

STOP STEALING MY JOB! I DO THIS KIND OF THING!

Honestly, is this really that important to you? If the spelling mistake you've described was extremely constantly made by other users, then maybe I would see a point. But more often than not, I find most spelling mistakes made here to be so minimal that I only notice them when others go out of their way to point them out. You still understood what the users were saying anyway, and their mistakes didn't exactly slow down your reading. So what's the point? I'm not exactly an advocate of bad spelling, but I don't go out of my way all the time to point out the mistakes of others either, unless it's really necessary.

Also, I really do find the "grammar national socialists" of this community to be even worse than the average dumb joes. And it's not because 'no one want's to get caught making their own spelling mistakes', but they really DO suck at what they're trying to do, while being even more annoying themselves than those who they condemn.

You haven't tried to describe the mental state. For which I thank you.

The only reason that there are grammar national socialists, is that there has to be. Without them 50% of internet users would be typing like a 'tard. The reason we don't like it, is because it's stupid, annoying and disrespectful to those who wrote the language in the first place!

By the way, carry on like that and I'll correct you. (I see a few mistakes you see.)

Spation, you're a prime example of the kind of people that I'm talking about here. How many times have you posted in entire threads with the sole purpose of correcting the spelling or making remarks of a commenter(Even when the mistakes themselves were minimal.), and not the original poster, while not even contributing to the actual thread topic yourself? Because I find that behaviour to be more annoying than someone who can't spell.

And do you really consider yourself to be a real grammar national socialist? Because to me, you're just someone who's trying to pose as one, believing that it's 'the cool thing to do'. You yourself weren't exactly the brightest person when you joined this forum, making loads of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors while being rude to everyone.

Also. "By the way, carry on like that and I'll correct you. (I see a few mistakes you see.)" Yeah, sure, go on. But I must ask, why do you feel the need to? I mean, what real significance is there out of it? You fully understood what I was saying. You didn't have to slow down to understand a misspelt word. Everyone makes a spelling mistake every now and then. Even you do, no matter how much you might not want to admit it.

This stuff is elementary English, and for those who say "Grammar national socialist", it just shows how lazy you are to think for one second about how you type.

I catch Spation making grammatical errors from time to time, it's quite ironic.

As do I. It's a full-blown hobby now.

Read his first few hundred posts, it's a lulzfest.
