Sta.sh
Your is possessive, to say that something belongs to the other person. Example: It's your drink. Enjoy it.
You're is a conjuction of "you are", as in to describe someone. Example: You're a good friend.
Also, what annoys me is when people confuse there, their, and they're.
There is a word used to say something isn't near your location, that it's far. Example: The temple is way over there, far away from here.
Their is possessive like "your", except it's saying that something belongs to a group of people. Example: It's their videogame. Return it, please.
They're is just like "you're", except it refers to a group of people instead of just one person. Example: They're just having a little fun.
Like I said, it's understandable if English isn't someone's first language and they know only a little, but if you know enough grammar to know the difference between these words, you had better use it at all times, even if you're on the internet. Grammar matters everywhere.
It also helps to read over what you're about to post.
I have a little theory: that the non-native speakers tend to write it better because they actually had to look up the meaning & spelling of most words, to make sure they would be understood on the international sites
I have officially lost all faith in humanity. Oh, and who knew you could get made fun of because you use proper grammar? A guy called me a nerd, dork, and a grammar nazi (even though I was just correcting a guy who confused 'lag' with 'log' twice ) because I capitalize my sentences properly, know the difference between 'your' and 'you're', and know the differences between 'there', 'their', and 'they're'.
"you're" you are.
"Your" something that is theirs (what they not are)
