Alright guys, this needs to be done for people who haven't been taught this in school yet. The Difference Between "Your" and "You're" Your Proper usage: "I saw your picture in the thread!" Note: Remember this - "Your" is usually used for possession. "Your ball", "your friend", "your mother". Improper usage: "Your a good artist!" Note: This usage may prompt the response "What about his good artist", because this sentence is implying that you own a good artist. (Which may be the truth, but isn't likely.) You're Proper usage: "You're a good artist!" Note: Remember this - It's a contraction of "you" and "are". Improper usage: "I saw you're picture in the thread!" Note: This would read "I saw you are picture in the thread!" |

The proper word is "all right", which seems a trivial as people misusing you're/your. |

Usage note: The form alright as a one-word spelling of the phrase all right in all of its senses probably arose by brown townogy with such words as already and altogether. Although alright is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, all right is used in more formal, edited writing. --- End quote --- |
