Published by Tikitiki February 21st, 2007Recently Chris Boulton and I had a 101 lesson on Your and You’re grammar. It went something along the lines of this:
Chris Boulton says:

You’re is the shortened version of “you are”
Chris Boulton says:

Chris Boulton says:
instead of saying you are tikitiki, I could say you’re tikitiki
Ryan says:

Ryan says:

Ryan says:

Chris Boulton says:

Chris Boulton says:

I guess I’ll have to wait till next year to make this my 2008 New Year’s resolution. And when I say this I don’t mean work on my grammar. I mean to get back at Chris for this. buahahaha
Thanks for sharing! That was hilarious! I’ve noticed the same thing on the boards, but then typos are VERY common there! LOL
It certainly is a very common error and it’s one of those things that generally gets to me too, when I notice. Glad it’s not just me. :p
I just want to say that it’s been bugging me too
(along with several of your other frequent spelling mistakes…)
Yeah your spelling mistakes are…well…um…persistent…
“apart” and “a part”
“offical”
Chris Boulton says:
your defines posession of something
Chris Boulton says:
IE, your small brain
That’s gotta be the best part
Can we add “proccessed” to that list?
Hey! You’ve got to give me some credit :rolleyes: I’m better than a lot of people on that forum _-_
Heh, I remember Dennis complaing on the forums about Proccessed, and you saying that it’s a mix of recces and processed.
