Grammar Lesson #1
"Your" refers to something belonging to you. I.e. "Your face is ugly." and "I am your master."
"You're" is short for you are. I.e. "You're an asshole." and "If you didn't learn this in elementary school, you're a moron."
There is no reason anyone should not know this.

I use to be a victim of making a mistake between your/you're (And occasionally do if I don't proof read what I type.) Another one that gets me is are/our. I think because the words sound the same is the reason why people get them mixed up.
To the poster above, I too feel the same way sometimes. Must be pet peeve of mine.
Would it be possible to include text talk in the grammar police thing? It makes me want to cut fingers off people!
OK, now yore hurting my feelings.
I concur. That shit drives me nuts
The irony is that people think truncated or idiotically mispelt words are only used online and here our nation is employing "u, yea, hav, wen, wot, etc." in our daily scrawls, essays, business reports, letters, and God save us, our speech. Who hasn't heard the occasional, 'lol' (literally pronounced as a word) or 'w.t.f'.
So they call us the dot.com generation.
I wonder why!
'Alot' is my big peeve. Two words, folks, two words.
their/they're/there
possessive/state of being/location
