Browsing through topics, I have seen members having a misunderstanding of the proper use of the words Your, You're, Their, and They're. I'm aware most of us learned this back in kindergarten but clearly some of us haven't been able to retain the information over the years.
Your and You're
Their and They're
Your and You're
Your: The word your sits before another word (usually a noun or a pronoun) to show that it belongs to "you" (e.g., your car, your arm), is of "you" (e.g., your picture, your photograph) or is related to "you" (e.g., your uncle).
You're: You're is a contraction of you are. It has no other uses. This is a 100% rule. If you cannot expand it to you are in your sentence, then it is wrong.
Example: I like your car.
Example: I think you're(you are) cute.
You're: You're is a contraction of you are. It has no other uses. This is a 100% rule. If you cannot expand it to you are in your sentence, then it is wrong.
Example: I like your car.
Example: I think you're(you are) cute.
Their and They're
Follows the same rules of Your and You're. They're is a contradiction of They are. Their sits in front of a word to show that the word belongs to them.
Example: I like their dog
Example: I think they're a cute couple.
Example: I like their dog
Example: I think they're a cute couple.

This is the internet. Not going to lie, but why does it matter how grammatically correct someone is?
I don't see people moaning about text talk but its exactly the same.
But thank you for the extra English lesson...

I'm not filling out a resume its a gaming form I can understand what you type and you can understand what I type. I don't understand why people judge one's intelligence on their grammar, there are other way's of being intelligent. Plus some people may not have had the opportunity to get the same education as you did don't judge people on their grammar skills its sad really.

Your joking, your telling me that you're post is telling me how to use the word your and you're. Your and wrong and you're English degree has officially been terminated.
They're you go, you will now have to go back to a snotty high school find that their all shitty high schools.
(That was a joke, I do how to use these words correctly)
