'Your' vs. 'You're'
My only thing is how annoying it is to see people using 'your' when they mean to use/say 'you're'. People seem to forget that the contraction for saying 'you are' is 'you're', NOT 'YOUR'!
Examples of proper use for each:
1.-- How was your day?
2.-- You're an A#&hole!!
Clean out those dirty mouths gentleman!!And don't forget that there IS a spell-check tab that you can click in the top right-hand corner of the box when 'you're' writing a post!

I also find it very annoying when people use single quotation marks when they should be using double. If you are highlighting a word or drawing attention to it the correct format is double.Originally Posted by Cable87

Spell checks are half the problem as it makes people lazy. Anyone that was though spellings and are now in their 30's were not given the proper technique. Spelling needs to be thought using phonetics, most were thought using memory as their technique. So to sum it all up, spell checks are not the way forward.

Was just thinking the same thing...........I also find it very annoying when people use single quotation marks when they should be using double. If you are highlighting a word or drawing attention to it the correct format is double.
'You're'............when it should be "You're"..........
