First there was Rezo's "keep talking and i'll be in you're box", then there was Nim's "You're illiteracy is disgusting."

You're illiteracy is disgusting.

 

Call me a grammar nazi but the grammar of some people on the internet is absolutely appalling and looks like some of you didn't pay much attention in class.

 

Here is a nice guide for you illiterate children out there.

 

 

  1. Understand the proper usage of the word you're. It is a contraction, or a combination of the words you and are. Other examples of contractions include doesn't, they're, and can't.
    • "You're a good friend." ("YOU ARE a good friend.")
    • "I don't know what you're talking about." ("I don't know what YOU ARE talking about.")

 

[*]Understand the proper usage of the word your. The word your is the possessive form of you, referring to something that a person has, or something that belongs to the person in discussion [or, the person you are talking to].

  • "Is your stomach growling?"
  • "Your book is on the table."

Wrong again!

 

 

Take a look at some examples. Each of the following examples shows an incorrect use of your/you're, and why it is incorrect.

  • "I can't read you're handwriting."
    • Incorrect because the contraction for "you are" is being used as the possessive form of you. It should be replaced with "your". Would "I can't read you are handwriting" make sense?

     

    [*]"If your hungry, then you should probably eat something."

    • Incorrect because there is no possession in question. This should be replaced with you're, or you are. Would "If my hungry..." make sense?

     

    [*]"Your very smart."

    • Again, incorrect. The "very smart" does not belong to the person that you are talking to—this doesn't make any sense. Replace your with you're, or you are.

     

 

[*]Keep in mind that, in general, the word your will never be followed by the words the, a, or an.

[*]Remember that the word your will usually not be followed by an adjective [a word that describes], when that adjective is describing the person that you are talking to. In other words, saying "Your very kind" or "Your stupid" will never be correct, assuming that you are describing the person that you are talking to. However, there is an exception, as shown here:

  • "Your nice son brought me my coat."
    • Here, your nice is acceptable only because nice is actually describing the person's son.

Grammar isn't the only problem tards have because in case you haven't noticed practically no one online can spell for shit. Anyway, this thread won't last long I bet before it deteriorates into flames. :wow:
I don't capitalize god because he is not worthy of the proper noun status.

When I'm in class, I use proper grammar, when I'm on the net, I don't give two shits less.

 

I'm just to lazy to give a fuck.

Does it matter that I was trashed? Meh, probably not. LOL @ ME.

 

First thread started about me. I'm flattered. And yes, I know the difference between your and you're. Like I said, I was completely wasted. I'm surprised ANYTHING came out correctly.

 

Time to get trashed again. <3.
