Thread: "Your" and "you're" -- a serious issue!

"Your welcome" can be correct in the sense "You have overstayed your welcome".

Not that many people talk that way, but it is proper.

It's a sentence fragment anyway, does it even matter?

We were only discussing the "thank you... you're welcome" situation.

Yeah maybe (hopefully) a good chunk of the mistakes we see places like this forum are just typos? I've done so before.. I think I've always managed to catch myself though.

Anywayyyy... really, some of these common errors are just ridiculous. How hard is it to know these differences, especially for the native speakers?

In my opinion, people see their mistakes. They're just too lazy to fix them.

Now, Mes. It's not like any native English speaker should have learned these things in early elementary school or anything, years before they'd have reached the minimum age required to join DV in the first place.

Oh, right.

Sad, isn't it?

It's not technically a sentence fragment, since the verb is implied. This is why it must be "I." Otherwise, it reconstructs to "Me want to go and kill."
