There are many grammatical errors on this forum. Some are annoying; some are not too bad. The one thing I really dislike is "I've got".{XpLiCiTxX} wrote:
"You're" is a contraction of the words "You are".

Example: You're an idiot if you don't know the difference between these two words.
"Your" is a possessive pronoun.
See here. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Your
Example: Can you hand me those papers on the table to your right?
What about using both in the same sentence?
Example: If you're looking for your wallet you left it in your coat.
It angers me that people still don't know the fucking difference between the two. I guess this is just one of my online pet peeves, but it's just annoying to me. Just like I hate 'leet' speak. I do, however, use 'lol' and such online. Hypocrite? No. I just choose to type in a manner in which it's not difficult to read.
Well have you ever thaught about the fact that there are other countries that DO NOT have the ENGLISH LANGUAGE as the spoken language, and so they do not know the difference between your, you're. And even so what does it matter? Unless you were talking about English people misspelling this, than ignore else, stop whining and accept the fact that people do not speak perfect English..{XpLiCiTxX} wrote:

Maybe part of the reason I posted this topic was for those who don't know the difference will learn from it and not make the mistake again. Nevermind that, RDMC(2) wants to flame me.RDMC(2) wrote:

Unless YOU'RE posting in D&ST then who really cares?
This is a video game forum that has young ones and those who barely know english(second language), if it bothers you then go find a mature community that only has members who are proficient in english/grammar.

While you're at it, why don't you explain the difference between "dual" and "duel"? As far as I know there aren't any fighting CPUs out there.

I didn't want to flame you, from what I understood was from your post, you were flaming on people that didn't speak perfect english{XpLiCiTxX} wrote:

Glad to hear that more people than me are getting a bit annoyed by this new "shiiitspeek" and bad grammar. Hell, i have english as my second language but i can still produce a sentence more correct than some fluently speaking british or american people(not generalizing here though).
As a matter of fact, i think it's a disgrase and a offence on your own intelligence when you don't write or speak properly, when you do have the ability.
And you're making it harder for me to fully understand you as well, which further opens up for bigger possibilities of misunderstanding in a conversation. And that can be difficult in "debate and serious talk" or instance. So please, for us non english speaking members of this forum, try to type as correct as possible.
Now here we have a flagrant example of misunderstanding. You are from Texas and i can't still understand what you have said? Please explain the following because i can't figure out if it's american slang or what?The Stillhouse Kid wrote:
So what your saying is that you're pet peeve is when people show they're ignorance by not using proper grammer, and that their should be something done about it? Rediculous!
I believe the correct usage is "I have learned", "learnt" is not formally correct, but widely used.-=raska=- wrote:
And... it seems that some rules I learnt at school don't apply here like for example, some people say "I learned" but I was taught that it's "I learnt". Maybe its just american slang or something ?klassekock wrote:
