YOUR = POSSESSIVE AS IN “YOUR CAT”
YOU’RE = YOU ARE AS IN “YOU’RE DUMB”

my bad; i am one of the offending parties!
I’ve probably spelled lots of things wrong and put commas in the wrong places. Sorry, dude.
OP, you’re full of shit. People who know proper grammar don’t use all-caps.
Your gremmer Natzi
NGF- sure they do. This person just happens to be screaming at the top of their e-lungs out of frustration. I can’t say I blame them. Poor spelling is an excellent way to demonstrate that you’re a moron.
i don’t think it demos moroness it’s just lazy thinking/sloppiness
I HIGHLY ENDORSE THIS BITCH.
Get a life OP.
Friggin’ tell ’em, Dino!
your an ass and you’re life must be horribly boring.
; )
Heaven forbid anyone should sound the slightest bit educated on here…Do you all live in trailer parks in Nova Scotia now?
I’m with PK et al. on this one. It’s not difficult to discern between the two. It’s part of the lazy e-culture we’re propagating.
But hey, at least it’s not text shorthand or leet speak. That’s the true bane to any grammar freak.
Sounds familiar ummmm nice post Kay !!!

UNLEASH THE FURY OF CAPS LOCK!!!!
I sign my name to my bitchin’ posts, hog. No need to guess, I didn’t write this. YES, there are literate people out there who’d like to take YOU seriously. Go figure. Oh, but you go ahead and communicate however you feel is best. You’ll see MOST people think you’re a dumbass if you can’t spell and don’t bother to try. It may not be fair but it’s as simple as that.
and just whom the fuck,does you thank you is fool.wyh should yu wory abot a misplelt word or threi.doesn’t that just irk you all to shit,dumbass.
Wow… with such a comment one should pay attn…
“YOU’RE JUST MAKING YOURSELF LOOK LIKE ILLITERATE DUMB ASSES.”
Should be “…yourselves look like illiterate dumb asses.”
Dumb ass…
Their, their……(pats on back), It’ll be alright.
1. nothing wrong with a coke habit as long as you can actually afford it and don’t bug anyone else about it….
2.your kidding me right? your getting all huffy about you’re eyes reading how your having to figure out which you’re/your people are using to reflect their story or opinion on you’re brain?
your …. your….. you’re….. you’re ….. YOUR.
3. their put they’re to piss people off and there working…. 🙂
ps. (I hate it too and you must admit, one would have to know the difference to spell like that in this post)
and you also forgot to add yore, as in days of yore(long ago).but don’t let that stop you from being a jerkwad.
Teh peeple taht make teh spelin N gramar mystakes r teh peeple thet d’ont giv a shyt. Their not gonna reed dis n tink “O! now i no how 2 use their n they’re! I’ts so simpel!”
spoken like a 9 year old in discovery of a vowel.
more rocket science. joy.
I hate cocaine. It’s also illegal so just knock it off.
it’s also illegal to water your lawn while it’s raining….
you don’t do that, now do you?
and I stick by my statement.
Dr F.: I don’t think it’s lazy e-culture, I think it’s people who actually don’t know the difference.
Sometimes it’s just really hard to take people seriously when they can’t spell properly. I see it all the time — not just on the internet. I saw an ad for a ring once that had “diamond” spelled as “dimond” and “carat” as “carrot.” CARROT. *shakes head*
i ate cold slaw in a retaurant once; followed by welsh rabit:)
I agree with Der…
Yer an ass & y’er life must be horrible if all you got to complain about is somethin’ so petty !
the other problem Pretty Kitty is carat is for gems & karat is for gold & carrot is for eatin’
She was referring to the carat-age in the “dimond,” More — the band was platinum 🙂
Hey, I’ve made that mistake…….Ya…I know better…..
so sue Smee!
