" Your" and " You're"
Think it out before you type it. Say it out loud to yourself. If you are trying to say "you are" as in: "you are going to have trouble" then it's "you're": "you're going to have trouble". In this case, please use the contraction.
If you are trying to show posession as in "that is your such and such", or if referring to a group, then it is the pronoun "your".
My two cents, allowing my annoyance to show. Take it for what you want. I figure if I don't stand up for the English language, nobody will.
And yes, before anybody SAYS it (Yes, Gary, I'm talkin' to you the difference between -- posted image.)... "The Spiz has spoken."
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

If you want correct english, then there should also be two spaces between a period and the start of a sentance. Also notice how I spelled two instead of putting 2.
But honestly, if you corrected everyone that wrote something incorrectly on ths website, then your only job would be to correct people and not actually answer a post.....
Or is this an inside joke and i'm intruding....LOL

Nope... No intrusion at all. If you'll notice, I *DO* use two spaces between a period and the beginning of a sentence. Truth be known, though, that's not necessarily "English", per se, but simply correct typing form or structure. But you speak the truth; it is AMAZING to me how few people give a crap about how their posts come across. It is so simple to use decent punctuation and spelling, yet so few do.

Ain't that the truth!?!? Yet another pet-peeve of mine.

Usually I don't even pay much mind to threads where the OP can't even write a complete thought let alone a question.

That would be "sentence" not "sentance" but who's paying attention.
