You're and Your and other errors with apostrophes
If you speak English as your native language, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever why you should confuse You're and Your.
One is the contraction for "You are." The other is a possessive pronoun.
Apostrophes are never used with possessive pronouns. They are used with possessive nouns. They are used to show contraction (omitting letters). They are never ever ever used to demonstrate plurality, unless it's the instance of lower-case letters by themselves (a's, b's and c's).
That is all. It is not hard. If you want to be seen as halfway intelligent, you will learn this, and you will not fucking complain.
I try to be compassionate, grammar-wise, but remembering where to use an apostrophe really isn't the hardest part of English. At a very minimum, I expect everyone to be able to separate You're from Your. I might be able to forgive people for their grammar sometimes, but this is a sin and it shall not be forgiven. I'm not your own personal [grammatical] Jesus.
P.S. Added (thank you, Val): Same out to mistakes with their, they're and there. You have been warned. Enlighten thineself.
