I'm amazed at the number of people that don't get you're, your, where, were, they're there...

I get when you're a kid and you don't get it. But as an adult, so many people still say your instead of "you're"

-> Your going to the store?
-> Their are lots of people that like blue.

I mean WTF?? Did they not get out of grade school?

The most atrocious one is Charlie Sheen's "mite" (as in "might")...

Your rite, i dont know were there learning english;)

You're right, it is surprising how many don't get it. What annoys me though is when people use of, like "could of" that should be "could have".

no one took grade school seriously. unless your parents were Chinese

STFU :Oh crap:Oh crap

Those two aren't even remotely pronounced the same. That's just plain bad spelling :1orglaugh

Doh!:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh LOL

Apostrophe catastrophe's (sic) get my goat.

You're premise is faulty. Your a idiot.

for many people here english is their second language

What got this going, is I saw on iTunes, a song that was titled "You where there", and they were singing happily, "You were there". Even the ID3 Tag was written "You where there"

you can't "say" an apostraphe :) you can write one , but speaking it is rather difficult.

Either way unless it's in print, like a book or newspaper , it's just ease of use.

p.s. worrying about it is silly , you waste your time worrying about it , while the "uneducated" people are off having fun getting laid.. what would you rather do , get laid or write "you're" properly ?

According to the NYT, "it's" instead of "its" is now kinda accepted. I still find it awful, but it happens to me all the time too.

And yet you still understand them. :)

I remember seeing this study done that showed you can still read when letters are mixed around in each word.

Don't forget: know and no, and two, too, and to.

I just got this in the last couple of years but English is my second language so it is okay.

I think most english speaking people get it but simply do not take the time to type it correctly on a BB.

I agree, there all dumb cunt's

:upsidedow

I gree, them their dumb asses should cunt there blessins to have a grammer nazi as you're self hear.Were you from to be so well at the engliss? i agree Their are lots of people that type like shite. Your going to the store later?

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Now try doing all that again in perfect Spanish or Czech.

Tell me about it! This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I see so many people misuse "your" properly on a daily basis. As you said, it's one thing to be a little kid and get it wrong. But as an adult? Come on. Whenever I call people out on their misuse of it they always say the same thing. "I was, uh, just typing fast is all." The reality is they don't know the difference which is why they write it wrong every single time. It only takes .02 seconds use the correct form. America's educational system is a joke.

The sad thing is, I talk to a person from Germany on a daily basis and their english is better than most Americans. English isn't even their first language but they still grasp the concept of "your" and "you're" better than most people I know. It says a lot about our country.

I know how to use them correctly but a lot of the time I don't when I'm just typing real fast chatting or whatever.

Has anyone ever heard of shorthand writing? No, I did not think so.

I see people in GFY trying to make themselves look far superior than they actualy are.

Here is my original qoute:
"If you were half as smart as you thought you are, you would be one smart mother fucker."

I have read many novels where its done in shorthand, and not proper gramar.
So will any of you go to publishers and inform they are un educated?

DUH! :1orglaugh fail :thumbsup:1orglaugh:thumbsup:1orglaugh:thumbsup

arf ... well, that is one side of the story ... but as a matter of fact - MANY germans dont use correct grammar speaking THEIR (they're? :1orglaugh) OWN language ... and i know what i am talking about - i AM german (and a grammar nazi :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh)

Nobody on UK tv now says "think" or "thing".

It's always "fink" or "fing".


VERY annoying...

95% sure he knows how to spell it. charlie is an eternal adolescent and at the forefront of the new languages being created at the frontiers of the tech/human coevolution.

"The modern Aeon of Horus, is portrayed as a time of self-realization as well as a growing interest in all things spiritual, and is considered to be dominated by the principle of the child. The Word of its Law is Thelema (will), which is complimented by Agape (love), and its formula is Abrahadabra. Individuality and finding the individual's True Will are the dominant aspects; its formula is that of growth, in consciousness and love, toward self-realization."

Paxil would be swell

What about the use of 'your' instead of 'are you'

Same here, but English is my first language :Oh crap

Dumb generation? :)

I wouldn't fuck someone that couldn't differentiate your and you're.
