Your vs. You're
« on: 2 August 2016, 06:32:45 PM »
Good evening everyone.

I've been conducting a study with ten people of whom consists of people from the Villagecraft community and Steam people. I have come to the conclusion that there is a sharp divide between the uses of your and you're depending on where one is from. The people of whom I have asked to call me stupid were:

2 Britons.

2 Canadians.

6 Americans.

From all of this my research concludes that Americans are much susceptive to use the incorrect your/you're. I have asked ten people to call me stupid, six of those Americans, out of the six only one had used the correct 'you're' for 'you're stupid.' The rest had said 'your.' The Britons and Canadians, however, all used the correct 'you're.'

This concludes my study of the differences in how we prioritise grammar.

a lot of people actually know when to use either one, for example me, but putting your for all cases is just easier

People who use "your" instead of "you're" are genuinely retarded.

That is also called being too lazy or simply being uneducated in grammar. I know that and I'm Swedish.




“The battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, generosity, empathy, truth, compassion and faith.”

The grandson thought about this for a minute and then asked the grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

It always counts, whenever you speak and type and write your intelligence and education is on display. If you, Peng, use the incorrect one because it's faster, then give me a break. You are an absolute and complete retard. There's a reason most Trump supporters are High School drop-outs or didn't go to university.

Because it spreads? People see it written incorrectly and think that is the correct way to spell it. I've fucking seen it used incorrectly in netflix subtitles many times already, lol.

I'm on your side about getting people to use you're / your correctly. I agree with you, but side comment:

I know you said netflix, but this is the BBC subtitling things.
