You're vs. Your (rant)

**jeremiahyawnson** · 01-14-2010, 12:16 AM

This didn't used to bother me so much but lately I've been going crazy seeing how often this shit is messed up.

But even more recently I've seen that you're is almost never used incorrectly but your is used wrong all the fucking time. In a hope to piss off more people, so I'm not the only one losing it, I'm going to needlessly use apostrophes more often.

So I had sex with you're mom last night.

**cramer** · 01-14-2010, 12:18 AM

your a teacher? LOL.... sorry i couldnt resist the incorrect usage. But really, there is nothing i hate more than the english police. ESPECIALLY on a friggin forum. You guys should be brought out to the desert and be forced to get butrammed by mike tyson for the weekend. ffs...

FWIW... I think your barking up the wrong tree with you're rant!!!

**dk_alaskan** · 01-14-2010, 12:57 AM

YOUR A JONG. The likelihood your going to change this place one rant at a time is going to drive you're brain insane

Well if you can get it out of you're system in this thread at least I'll see it coming and it won't make me go crazy elsewhere.

Oh, and I'll correct you're grammar if I goddamn feel like it!

I never used to fuck up your/you're before I started posting here. Apparently, it's contagious. Watch out cause you might become dumb like the rest of us.

Then you start forgetting the difference between lose and loose. It's like this - After you lose your virginity you may be considered loose. Get it?

WTF is a skir?

**brice618** · 01-14-2010, 09:32 AM

concrete jungle for the ironic win.

Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a shit about the rules?

The one that drives me fucking crazy is 'lense'. it's lens. L-E-N-S. lens. how fucking retarded do you have to be for 'lense' to look correct?

**jeremiahyawnson** · 01-14-2010, 09:57 AM

Skier was taken and I didn't really feel like being creative because I thought that this was just another worthless forum at the time. Now I waste all of my fucking time here and have become obsessed with retarded grammar mistakes, it's pathetic I know.

In my defense, grammar is different than spelling, and doesn't seem to bother me as much. Hopefully gatorboy can change that for me in this thread.

**donutlynx** · 01-14-2010, 10:01 AM

what about when you're grammar and spelling mistakes collide? as in the case of you're / your?

you should start a new thread about that. hurry!!

Yer all abuncha maroons.

**The AD** · 01-14-2010, 10:46 AM

For spoken gaffes how about when people say "asterick" instead of "asterisk?" You can say "aster" and you can say "risk," right? So what's so hard about pronouncing asterisk correctly?

A typo that bugs me is when people write ect. instead of etc. Seeing how it's an abbreviation for et cetera it seems like it wouldn't be messed up so often.

**tenB** · 01-14-2010, 11:21 AM

Nobody likes a grammer nazi.

okay, my brief search has led me to believe that in some circles 'lense' is considered an acceptable (although antiquated) spelling. nevertheless, i stand by my previous statement.

**Making a Pizza** · 01-14-2010, 11:39 AM

What about There, Their, They're portion of this? I hate that shit.
