All too often I see young people these days confusing "your" and "you're"; "their", "they're", and "there". There is a difference folks. Learn it. It will serve you well.

Learn your "theirs", people, and the world will be a better place for us all smart pirate raver

"I agree fundamentally. Young people have forgotten the value of proper grammar!"

But I do believe, and I mean no derogatory intent with this suggestion, that it would perhaps appear better had you written;

"I concur entirely. Young people today have forgotten the fundamental values of being gramatically correct!"

smart

A point well eliterated, Darth Revan.

I find that a plethera of youths have somehow created a mock-up of what I like to call the English Language. When we have "full sentences" composed of letters substituting words, the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

"wut r u doin?" <- that is not english, rather it is a disgrace.

English used to be a beautiful thing, but now it is nothing more then jibberish for the most part.

Your a ***. <-- I love this one. And the best part is the speaker claims I am the one who needs to learn the language. laughing

You are a *** is the full sentence. And YOU + ARE = YOU'RE! yes

Poor grammer and lack-luster spelling are spreading like wildfire. Please, do yourself a favour and use the wonderful tool of spellcheck. Also, understand that spellcheck CHECKS SPELLING, not words that are out of context and/or homonyms misplaced.

Thank you, and have a great day!

Darth Revan
I bought a joke book from this old hippie dude who calls himself "frog" and goes around selling these things that he writes himself. He makes you squeeze his rubber chicken and his rubber cow before you can have one of them blink

Tela
Okay, that's really weird.

Darth Revan
The town where I live is weird beyond belief. I went to the Oregon Country Fair a few weeks ago, which is basically a big hippie party that lasts all week. There was this guy in a giant wolf suit on stilts who tried to hug my friend's 11 year old brother... blink And another time, there was a guy sitting in the middle of a field rolling some special "something" up in little slips of paper... Then the cops came along and had a little chat with him laughing

Tela
And I"m sure you were a partner in that conversation.

Darth Revan
Oh yeah, I was smokin'

Clovie
