Your/You're..... again

Honestly, it sounds the name so what do you expect, people are going to post it different ways (wrong ways). Stop being a grammar Nazi. You can understand what they're are saying, you're just pointing it out to be annoying, and or give yourself a feeling or superiority.

I pronounce them slightly differently....

Your = yur*
You're = yuwar*

*approximate pronunciation

This sounds like an excellent idea.

For some unknown reason (though probably because I'm computer guy) I was tasked with looking after the Facebook page for work and I have a very hard time deciphering a lot of the messages I receive. There was one woman who complained about me as a result of asking her to repeat her question five time after which I still couldn't understand what she was on about. To be fair I did start extracting the urine after the fourth attempt by using overly flowery language which she clearly could not understand :D

Or commas, or fullstops. Basically all the little fiddly bits associated with the written language.

I don't think it's as common as you think. The majority of people on Internet boards don't care how correct their grammar is, they could probably use the correct word if it actually mattered.

I definitely see there, their and they're get confused, but also I notice a lot of people know how to use them properly too.

OP, your getting pretty annoyed about this I see.

EDIT: Oh my, looks like I've been beaten like a ginger stepchild. *cries*

I didn't even notice it at first that time, maybe I'm starting to filter it out. :D

Maybe it's the only way to appreciate the difference. :o

To be fair there is some grammar fail in there! :eek: Conveniently only the your/you're mix-up truely grinds my gears.

Oh, FFS. Bottom line: It won't go away.

Same with one of my pet hates: "a lot".

It IS NOT A SINGLE WORD.

Just to clarify, I'm more interested in why people use the wrong word MORE than the correct. Of course I can understand that people will confuse the two. I'd be relatively happy if there was an equal balance between getting it correct and wrong.

First off, I am intoxicated, secondly, if you cannot gather the meaning of the post then you are an idiot.

Too many people these days, they get in an argument with someone across the internet.
They interchange e-blows, then when they make a perfectly good point, but the spelling is wrong, all of a sudden it is okay to ignore the whole of the point of their post, even if you can understand it regardless of grammar, and then go on to rip into them for their grammar. It's stupid.
Saying OK because of some typos doesn't help this thread, doesn't contribute at all.

I too am intoxicated, but since when do people arguing over the internet try to 'e-blow' each other?

E-mail linkage in trust...

One of my uncles is a cab driver, the other works in a home caring for the mentally handicapped.

Therefore they are both unlikely to have any involvement with a horse, and consequentially I am neither.

They did, though. I saw it.

... and I saw you watching. Do you not remember that moment our eyes met?

I thought it meant something, man!
