You're = you are. Your = something you own.

Please, learn the difference and use it correctly.

I think you're on to something.

That and "Should have" and "Should of". FFS people. :\

I hate it when people end a sentence with a preposition.

 

[Banshee]

I've been here ages. I rarely post. But I believe I posted something to this effect years ago. Really pisses me off too... Hats off to you OP.

 

[The Morningstar]

You know what I hate? When people say "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less".

 

[Bubonic]

Meh, far as I see it the main purpose of language is to communicate. So long as the person is making themselves understood I'll overlook these discrepancies.

That said, the use of irregardless still pisses me off... Especially now that I see that this Mozilla dictionary doesn't count it as an error.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

I also hate when the wrong "there" is used. "They're" is a contraction of "they" and "are". "Their" is a possessive word. And "there" is a place. But I will see stuff like "I went to there house"... epic grammatical face palm.

Your stupid.

My stupid what?

You can understand how some might say "would of", not that it's excusable. However, some (and I've seen it here on these boards) completely substitute of for any instances of have, along the lines of "I of an idea."

They should make people take a test on this before allowing them to join facebook.

Language is symbolic. As long as you get the meaning and it's not difficult to get the meaning, there shouldn't be a problem.

I hate the words "There" and "Their" and then we have "Read" and "Read". Why do we have two words that sound the same that have different spellings? And then we have two words that sound different with the same spelling, we alread have Reed and Red!

I'm dyslexic so I don't always double check that I used the right there/their but then I get grammer nazis moaning at me about it. That REALLY pisses me off!

"They're" is a contraction, like you said, and I don't see why anyone would ever get that wrong.

 

[Midnyte_Sun]

If only English was our offical language; that would help resolve some of our grammar problems.

 

[Master Chief]

sssssttttttfffffuiuuuuu about grammar unless you're reading a novel, professional article or an essay.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Why should I have to sssssttttttfffffuiuuuuu about something so easy to not do? Is it that hard to type "you're" when its needed?

Same reason that 've is a contraction (would've, should've, could've) and yet people do all the time.

 

[Master Chief]

Because it's a mistake that doesn't really impair whatever the person was trying to say.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

You know what, Master Chief? Our fathers and grandfathers didn't win the war just so we can type like a bunch of dummies.
