The English teacher in me goes absolutely crazy with a mistake that many make here at AA; the super smart ones and the not so super smart ones, both! Maybe it's typing errors. I surely can undersatnd that, I can't type to save my butt...so here goes:Your-possesive...Sentence usage: I love your pretty ass, may I use it sometime to carry wood down to the shed?
You're-You are, Sentence usage: You're so beautiful, may I kiss your ass?
Hope I didn't offend anyone!
Of course, there's Appalachian spelling: Yoor, covers both usages, and then, to complicate things, there's yore, as in yesterday (pertaining to history): In days of yore when you met a whore, you'd pull out a copper or two. If that didn't do to get you a screw then a penny more might suffice.
