Your and you're
Jump to: Newest in thread
Here's a handy little reminder for those that have trouble with grammar:
They’re = They fucking are.
Their = Shows fucking possession.
There = Specifies a fucking location.
You’re = You fucking are.
Your = Shows fucking possession.
We’re = We fucking are.
Were = Past fucking tense of “are”.
Where = Specifies a fucking location.
Its = Shows fucking possession
It's = It fucking is
Loose = Not fucking fixed in place
Lose = Cease to fucking keep
Affect = A fucking action
Effect = A fucking result
Could've = Could fucking have
Could of = You're (see 4) a fucking idiot

It's the same as those people who use 'or' several times in a couple of sentences lol :p But I suppose that's their prerogative and they're not too bothered by my opinion x  |

"Seems to me there's hardly anyone left who knows when to use "your" or "you're"?
Or "their" , "there" and "they're"?
Or is everyone just lazy? Lol!"
I suspect both! I am sure a lot of people would catch their error if they would read what they wrote before sending it. |

I put my errors down to poor eyesight + tiny text and a back lit screen. |

Whilst some may not understand grammar and struggle with spellings, many are fully aware, but messages on a swinging site are hardly important are they?
It should also be taken into consideration that many people use phones to access the site and predictive text can be challenging at times.
I am of reasonable intelligence, my command of the English language is good, I know the difference between your and you're. However I make many typing errors using my phone, I also miss small words out at times because my brain races ahead. I don't read posts and messages back because I don't feel I need to invest that time.
I am certain that my words written on this site are not going to become great literary masterpieces , therefore im not going to try too hard

So you're pining for your proverbial 'days of yore'. We're sure people from here, there and everywhere were taught their English properly back in the day. |

I have more important things to worry about in my life than grammatically correct messages and posts. 
When we meet people we communicate verbally not pass messages to each other under the Table, it's the Adult way
So frankly my Dears whogivesafuck.

I wouldn't type words such as nawty, gawjus, dat, dis, neva, etc, it doesn't feel right for me, I do however shorten though to tho if I'm on a site for entertainment/friends emails, I wouldn't in a professional capacity |

Admin have said ppl should be able to use the forums without the forum spelling police putting others down. It puts a lot of ppl that have never used the forums from doing so. Grow up and stop being so narrow minded. I guess we cant all be perfect like you  |

Wow! What a response to my first ever post in the forums! I’m actually really impressed. I especially love Highland Rose’s comments! Brilliant! Conversely it’s clear those of you who DON’T think spelling or punctuation matter, sure do love saying so! And to those who agree with me, but think life’s too short for such trivialities, thanks for taking the time to say so lol! Thanks to you all, you’ve put a big smile on my face xx |

Lol! Yes I see your point, but my point is: in the end actions always speak louder than words, so if you're trying to find out what someone means when their actions appear to contradict their words, judge by their actions. Works for me! |

Each to their own.
What I consider as important may be trivial to others.
However, I am not going to lower my standards in order to appeal to the masses.
Inverted snobbery is quite common on FAB.

The great thing about language is that it is always evolving, new words and phrases are constantly being created (selfie was the new word of 2013!), and we somehow make ourselves understood. Personally I like to try and get things right (I frequently fail in this) and have a preference for those who think the same, for me it is important. |

I am very guilty of this, as 20 years working where I never had to write anything down my spelling is awful. Thank god for spell checkers but even that gets it wrong as wrll. |

Me too! A guy who makes an effort by spelling and using punctuation correctly, is far more sexy than one who doesn't bother, and/or just uses text-speak! |

Text messaging abbreviations are also a problem. USA schools have too much politics these days. I've also heard that some elementary schools no longer teach penmanship and cursive writing anymore. |
