I. Your vs you're your = belonging to you you're= contraction for "you are" ( and is different from "your") These words are not interchangeable. II. There vs they're vs their There = a different place from the one you currently occupy They're= contraction for "they are" Their= belonging to them These words are not interchangeable.
I despise illiteracy or intellectual laziness. Get it right before your high school English teachers slap your parents. It takes less than one minute to proofread (you internet generation dancing monkeys might have to look that one up) a post. I'm not talking about typos here ... I'm talking about selecting the correct word in the first place. And, please, do not give me that "you know what I mean" crap. You can point to your mouth and rub your stomach and I know you are hungry ... But it's still not English. |

OP. I LOVE YOU. WTB better grammar. God I loathe improper english, and 'txt-speak'. U does not equate to 'you'. r is not 'are' or 'our'. b is not 'be' Does it honestly take that much effort to just try to use proper english and sound at least somewhat intelligent? |

when you resort to name calling your post moves from "This is an annoyance people should avoid" to "RAAAAH ATTENTION".
at least thats what name calling says to me, more so when its in the OP and its just a blanket statement. |

Beautiful night tonight, wouldn''t you agree? |
I dont care how much people hate it, I use that type of speech all the time in MMO's. It is quick, easy, and more conenient to use. At least I, and many other people too, do not simply forget true grammer. Is it really that wrong to make things easier?, for the sake of nothing but conienience. |
