Listen Up!

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times- but here we go again.

Your- The possessive form of you
If you use incorrect grammar on your facebook status, it makes me question your intelligence.

You're- you are
If you can't use contractions correctly, then you're on my list of people that bother me.

There- in or to that place, at that point, on that matter (take your pick)
You may not write like a competent human yet, but you'll get there.

Their- Possessive form of them
Their constant butchering of the English language never ceases to amaze me.

They're- They are
If they don't get a tutor, they're going to fail English.

Its- possessive form of it
It makes the University of Alabama look bad when its students chalk misspelled words on the quad. (Let us not forget the "choose or loose" campaign of 2008)

It's- It is
I think it's crazy that people who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're" get accepted to college.

If this post makes me sound pretentious or snooty, so be it.
