Grammar Lesson - READ ME, MORONS! - GoFuckYourself.com

OK! Get this straight.

Your = a possessive pronoun (e.g., your house)
You're = a contraction (you + are) (e.g., you're an idiot)

People, including a lot of GFY posters, get this wrong way more often than they should.

Weird, its weird goddamnit, NOT wierd. This totally freaks me out. I think 80% of all Americans can not right the word weird correctly. How sad is that.

Sorry Battuss but I'll have to correct you on this one - sometimes you let the anger get the best of you! "can not right the word " should be "can not write the word" & for the record 'can not' can also be written as 'cannot'

who cares

Tom_PMs · 08-23-2004, 08:53 AM

"should of" = "should have" or "should've"

Note that the correct contracted version takes exactly the same number of keystrokes as the massively annoying incorrect one, lol.
