Is it really that difficult to differentiate between YOUR and YOU'RE? - GoFuckYourself.com

KRosh · 08-15-2012, 10:30 AM

Every few months there is a thread on GFY talking about the proper use of Your and You're

YOUR is a possessive adjective, indicating ownership of something
That is your sock.
Where is your potato?

YOU'RE is a contraction (combination) of you and are
Do you know what you're doing?
You're stupid.
The two are not interchangeable.

Getting it wrong makes you look stupid. And ugly.

If you think the industry is crumbling, then it means eventually people are going to leave this industry. Even more reason to learn the difference between the 2 so that in the real world they can function.

Well, in the "real world" of software engineering, where I worked through the mid 1990s... I had to edit every single report and memo my former boss wrote before they were disseminated, because he was not only confused about your/you're, their/they're/their, and to/too, he also habitually confused "algorithm" with "logarithm." (He also hilariously confused "whether" and "weather," which I was always tempted to NOT correct in the final draft.)

This guy was the director of operations at a company that had millions in annual revenue and over 60 employees in its production department. It was all good though, because in reality his actual job was to be the president of the company's brother-in-law.... and he definitely had all the hard-earned qualifications needed to hold that crucial position. ;-)

Quentin,

I understand what you are saying and agree, we are surrounded by stupidity

Your use of the number 2 in this sentence is incorrect use of grammar and I don't think you are stupid. Why should you?

Using grammatical correctness to gauge intelligence is setting the bar pretty low isn't it?

michael.kickass · 08-15-2012, 11:32 AM

I just can't agree more and I do believe it's not that hard to differentiate them.

Glen, using the number 2 rather than the word two is not grammatically incorrect, rather it is informal.

I am not gauging intelligence based on grammatical correctness, merely saying it is personally irritating

I have often wondered how people are able to write intelligible blog posts if they make such basic spelling and grammar errors.

SilentKnight · 08-15-2012, 03:05 PM

A lot of people these days (especially the younger ones) don't seem to give a damn about proper grammar and spelling. It's easier to label someone a "grammar nazi" than use the correct grammar.

That's fine. No problem.

I hope you don't mind when your job application and employment resume is included in the first wave to hit my trash can.

Carry on.

For me, as non English speaker, its very strange to see such a mistakes. I can not imagine how somebody could mix up your and you're or there and their etc. I mean its stupid mistake even for non English speakers, its unimaginable how English speakers could do such a mistake.
One more that bugs me: too and to... How could someone which is native in English "I like it to" instead of "I like it too"? Its surprisingly common mistake.. I mean too and to even does not sound similar, one is clearly long and one is clearly short word when spoken.
