I'm constantly blown away by the sheer amount of people who are always misspelling 'you're'.

It's like people think that typing or writing 'your' will suffice for any usage of the word.

I just got a professional email from a woman who works for an online training company. After I read the email, I thanked her, and she soon replied with:

"Your so welcome!"

That really disturbs me.

Edit: Sorry if repost--I searched.

How many times did you check your own post for errors in fear that someone would point out said error to you?

i have found that most people don't care about minuscule things like the proper form of your/you're and others on the internet as long as their point gets across.

now when someone on the internet says "your a moron" i can't help but smile:)

I copied and pasted your thread body text into a reply just to see if Firefox could pick up any misspelled words.

Everything was right though :(

Add "their," "there," and "they're" to the list. Not to mention "definitely" being spelled "definately."

None, but I typed more cautiously than usual. :)

Did you expect the response, "Thank you sir for bringing this to our attention. We will try harder to use "your" and "you're" correctly in the future"?

Remember, this is ATOT!
