Official Grammar Police:
Listen up you fuckin morons: here's what it comes down to:

you + are = you're
(i.e. You're all fuckin morons for not having learned this simple concept in elementary school.)

Your = your bike, your car, your lack of intelligence, etc.

Their ignorance fucking makes me sick.
They're probably working at a gas station.
There, I fuckin said it! Now utilize this knowledge I bestow upon you, you short-yellow-bus-riding tarts!

A most delightful explanation as to the differences between words, as given by Voodooman, to the colonies .. I thank you ;)

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Haha! It's a perfect time for this...

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...

I'm sorry.

It really is my biggest fault.

I always do it.

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Mkay, now all I need is for someone to show me the correct use for: to, too and two... :unsure:

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Hmmmm ... I've seen pissing contests between federal and state cops.

I've seen juris-dick-shunal squabbles between the state boys and local cops.

But voodooman, my friend ... when Morgan sees you straying onto her turf - urine trouble.

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

oh my.........

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

You're too confused to understand "two". ... So there. ;)

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

two: the number 2. It not used for anything else.
too: 1. In addition; also: He's coming along too.
2. More than enough; excessively: She worries too much.
3. To a regrettable degree: My error was all too apparent.
4 Very; extremely; immensely: He's only too willing to be of service.
Informal. Indeed; so: You will too do it!
to: is a preposition that can be used in so many ways, so just figure if it doesn't fir into the other two, use to.

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Actually, Morgan has already given voodooman points for that. :okthumb:
Sex is also available. A lot of it. :yowsa:

Nick...in an odd way, your finger types what your brain mentally "hears" as you think. Therefore, a lot of "their/they're/there," etc., mistakes occur due to "sound." I do it ALL the time. Sometimes I catch it before I post, sometimes I edit quickly, and a lot of the time I just say "oh, the hell with it, somebody will enjoy harrassing me about it and I've provided a service." :)

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Two is pretty easy as it deals with numbers.

I have two pieces of cake left.
I walked two miles to school.

Too always describes "also" or "in excess".

I want some ice cream too.
Your walkman is playing too loudly.

*Note the extra o as it should remind you that this word deals with adding more on to something.

To is used in all other cases.

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Points to Red for going even further with that than I would have! :okthumb:

Hey, Tonda!! :waving:

How's one of my absolute favorite humans doing today? :)

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

I am doing great! Thanks for asking:) How about you?

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Trev, its easy mate ...

TO LET : Two feet of prime real estate on Dravyks head, has running water, electricity and partially unfurnished. Too much to list and must sell soon. :D

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Cheers everyone, it's rather easy to grasp with an example :)

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Partially unfurnished means there must be furniture on my head. http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif ... Must be that odd British humour. http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/blink.gif

Tonda!! Always enjoyable to see you here! http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/smile.gif

*huge hugs for my affiliate rep of gold*
I'm doing very well. Had a ball out shopping with my husband this morning. (It's amazing what I can talk him into buying when he's late for work!) I got my annual angel, which always makes me happy. It will take some time, but eventually I want to be one of those daft old ladies who over-decorates for the holidays. :)

This was the very first time we've left our new Chihuahua alone while we *both* went out. The greeting when we came back was intense. :)

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

It is part carpeted though.

Looks like old shag pile.

Probably been scotch guarded a few times

:)

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Any scotch goes immediately down the gullet. :)

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

LOL No .. too easy :D

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Thanks Dravyk! I thought I would stop by and surprise the hell out of you guys:)

Morgan,

I need pics of your puppy. I love doggies!

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Tonda, meet Dingo. Half Chihuahua, half Dachshund. http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/smile.gif

Her new white sweater and her favorite toy...which she swiped from the cats. She loves cats. They're...confused. They know she doesn't mean any harm, but are still reluctant to play the "chase me, chase me!" game she keeps trying to get going.

Taking pics of her is difficult due to my damned camera. It has a "preflash" thing, which makes her look away immediately. I've gotten some great shots of the empty space where she used to be sitting.

There are certain words that my fingers have stumbled over since before my first "keyboard upgrade" was to an IBM Selectric I, even when I could crank out 85+ WPM on a manual typewriter.

Word processors (followed by computers) absolutely RUINED my spelling. I had average spelling skills until I joined the Navy. After boot camp and a basic school, I went to an advanced clerical school where whiteout was grounds for dismissal, and the words "there was a spelling error somewhere” were accompanied by the sound of the twelve page document being ripped up in front of your eyes.

This proved far more effective than only getting a blue star on the weekly spelling test, lemme tellya.

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Morgan,



Thanks, and I'll be in touch. I actually didn't post this for any other reason than to make some people laugh. When talking with someone in PERSON, does one know when one uses Your, you’re, two, too, to, etc incorrectly? I think not therefore, My view on people misspelling things on the net, especially in Oprano's forum is a result of trying to type TO fast for their abilities, to excited to post their comments, or just careless typing, NOT that the person doing the typing is illiterate or stupid.
:hmm:

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

I don't understand this post.
Have I inadvertently offended you in some way?
I gave you points because I enjoyed your original post so much. I made a sexual remark, like I sometimes do.
I didn't state nor imply that anyone at all was illiterate or stupid.
What happened?

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

hahaha, Nope you didn't do anything but give praise.
I guess I combined the two points and I can see how it sounded like
I was bagging on you, but I wasn't. My bad Morgan!

I should have hit return after laugh and started a new paragraph. :)

Re: Refer to this thread when using Your, You're etc...
 

Do you have a good Morgan and a bad Morgan? Or did you mean, "My bad, Morgan"?
