| How do you feel about people who use your/you're and their/they're/there incorrectly? Urge to kill... rising... I tend to have less respect for them Meh, everybody makes mistakes I really don't even notice at all Your to sensitive if it bugs you Shame that a poll concerning the two most common grammatical/orthographic errors should include the third most common error of this kind.

| They did it on purpose. "Your to sensitive if it bugs you" "Your" should be "you're". I will not use abbrev. |

| OK. I figured the "your" was deliberate, but I assumed the other mistake wasn't. Big Brother is watching you |

| your: a possessive pronoun you're: a contraction you: are a goddamned illiterate think that would be a 3KL on GF with clean history, or just an NKL? |

| I'm shocked by the number of people who don't know which word to use in which situation, or who lack the brain power required to decide before they start typing it. If "you are" makes sense, use "you're". Else, use "your". I will not use abbrev. |

| yeah, I typically don't capitalize anything except proper nouns and "I" when posting on forums I also don't use ending punctuation, favoring the line break instead yeah, I know, I'm being hypocritical, huh? |
