ATTENTION, BLOGOSPHERE: The contraction "you're" is to be used in place of "you are." The possessive "your" is to be used, well, when the possessive is intended. If you don't know the difference, possessive means, owning something, even if immaterial. Ie. Your use of your when you are is required really irritates me. "You are" uses a verb, "are," which is a conjugated form of the "to be" verb. Thus, "you're" should be followed by what that person is, as in I am; you are; he, she, or it is." Which brings us to....
When you've mastered the difference between your and you are, you might want to check on the difference between the contraction it's and the possessive its.
Yes, it's been that kind of day, week, month, year, life, choose one; why do you ask?

I was just at a "writer's" site where she put "loose" instead of "lose," something that drives me absolutely nuts. And it wasn't a typo in a post either--it was in her sidebar!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Happy Delurker Day!
ReplyDeleteFor whatever reason I can deal with "you're" and "your" but "it's" and "its" makes me crazy as does TRULY unique. Either something is unique or it ain't, er, isn't ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope the day gets better!
Ack. Loose vs lose is another one that must be corrected at all costs.
ReplyDeleteAnd is it delurker day, already. Thanks, Paula. :)
One problem with your/you're is that sometimes, sentences almost read okay, but start meaning something else and I have to start over to figure out what the heck the person is trying to write.
Their, there, they're bug me too.
ReplyDeleteYes, the there/their/they're triad errors can be most vexing. :)
ReplyDeletehehe..i guess bicyclists can be pretty annoying. i didn't know if the normal road rules applied to them to. however, i agree with contentious chic about the difficulty of dealing with its and it's.
ReplyDeletecheers!
