You're and Your and other errors with apostrophes

[clytemnestra215]

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).

That one's annoying too, but for some reason, this one galls me more. It's probably because it is only two rather than three to remember.

Hey, -I- find those errors highly annoying, and I am far from being fault-free in the grammatical realm. Or in any other realm, for that matter, but you know what I mean.

It surprises me that people with English as their mother tongue would deign to make such mistakes :/ At least if it happens over and over and over again; I could've understood once or twice, but not in what seems like every other post.

*loves on Sela* preach it, Sister :lol
