It's "You're" for God's sake

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I've seen "your" used for "you're" today about 30 times in 10 different threads. It's a pet peeve. Stop it. Stop it now.

[Dixon Carter Lee]

LOL You lie!

 

[PolythenePam]

YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR
YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR YOUR

I just type in here, if it's not anything profecinal or special, i don't check grammer, and I rarly check spelling because it's a pain in the ass to do everything i do something, besides.... People still get the point even if it's not 100% proper

Thank you DCL... thank you, thank you THANK YOU! That one drives me crazy. Even worse then seeing it here is I see it in work emails all the time - even from Vice Presidents who, if they can't spell themselves, you'd think at least their assistants would correct it!

At 3/thread on average I think it's definitely time to call upon the cunning, stunningly clandestine, and erudite operatives of the
Special Secret Society for the
Prevention of the Propagation of Peeves. What's your opinion?

 

[Isabella Thorne]

oh my Dixon dear ...

your so strict today ... lol

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

My opinion is that SSSPPP is a sucky acronym.

LOAF?

Just wait until the Coalition of Reprehensible Acronym Police catch wind of that one.

 

[Rambling Rose]

CRAP

 

[cymbidia]

Well, i think the United Hegemony Honestly Undercovering Hoaxes might have a little jurisdiction in this thing, too.

[Dixon Carter Lee]

I hate that. Alot.

 

[Kymberley]

DCL forget to take the meds today?

Oh Madam Laurel, would you please have Manu write something into the Lit programs for some of our residents that find they are grammatically and phonetically challenged? We need something that would allow all new posts to be sent directly to DCL's computer for spelling and grammar checks prior to be posted?


Thank you,


Kymber

In regard to the continued use of poor grammar in this thread may I quote Mr. D. Duck, who extolled so celebratedly in his monograph Despicable Syntax and its Contribution to Seasonal Enui "Shoot me NOW! Shoot me NOW!"

Shoot! Shoot now!

Hey, Dix, hate to break it to ya, but ya'll're spelling it wrong. It's ennui not enui. Though, I think, ya'll should be pretty happy, I did conjugate that "ya'll're" thing correctly. It's ya'lls and ya'll're. I belong to Hick Everywhere Into Furthering English Reading Skills.

 

[Problem Child]

Muff, you must have the old edition. Ya'll is a contraction of Ya (you) and will (you'll). What you should be saying is Y'all (you+all). See?

There is also Y'all all, but we'll get to that next time.

 

[KillerMuffin]

*whispers in PC's ear* Ya'll may not have noticed this, darlin', but I never spelled ya'll correctly. Not even in my entire life. I even pronounce it wrong. Ya-awl not ye-awl. My relatives are embarrassed.

But now that I have you here, let's strip naked and graffiti DCL's house in improperly utilized homonyms. He'll love it, trust me. *smiles brightly*

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Typo. I do that.

Alot.

*Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!*
