Title: you're != your Post by: Arrrhalomynn on November 17, 2004, 12:24:45 AM PLEASE, for the love of God. There is a difference between you're and your. Yes, you pronounce them the same, but you don't read them the same.
And the same goes for their, there and they're. If you use the wrong one, your post becomes intelligible. If you use any of these words, and you know you suck at typing/spelling/grammar/proper thinking, please read through your post once again before you submit it. It won't take much time, but you'll look a lot less retarded. Thank you. Feel free to fill the rest of this topic with more typical mistakes, so the people that make these know they suck. Title: Re: you're != your Post by: den68 on November 17, 2004, 05:17:02 AM Quote If you use the wrong one, your post becomes intelligible. don't you mean "unintelligible"? Title: Re: you're != your Post by: Izret101 on November 17, 2004, 05:43:14 AM hahaha Arrr screwed up.
Can we just have a whole thread where we quote Arrs screwups and point them out so he can see he makes mistakes too? Title: Re: you're != your Post by: Tynstar on November 17, 2004, 06:20:08 AM I screw up posts all the time. Get use to it. :-/
Title: Re: you're != your Post by: Antimind on November 17, 2004, 07:58:45 AM Lesson 1:
you're - contraction, you are Example - you're awesome but not as awesome as I am. your - typically used when speaking to someone about them (possesive) Example - Is that your copy of EGM or mine? Your signature sucks, get a new one! their - also possesive Example - Their car is a piece of shit. there - used when speaking of a location Example - look over there! I went there once and it sucked. they're - contraction, they are Example - they're not the nicest people I know. Now be good and STOP FUCKING UP now that you've been informed on proper usage :P Title: Re: you're != your Post by: Arrrhalomynn on November 17, 2004, 09:13:42 AM yesyes, unintelligible. I was already very happy with myself for writing intelligible without errors ;).
And yes, I know I make mistakes, but 1, I'm foreign and 2, I try my best not to make the same stupid mistake over and over again. Everyone makes mistakes and in most cases nobody will be attacked on it, but some mistakes are so stupid and made so often, that it annoys me, and several others here to no end. If you honestly don't know the difference between you're and your and their, there and they're, you should be either 8 years old or retarded. Since most people on this board are neither, please think before you post. Title: Re: you're != your Post by: den68 on November 17, 2004, 09:32:50 AM Quote but 1, I'm foreign excuses excuses.

Title: Re: you're != your Post by: Izret101 on November 17, 2004, 06:52:01 PM I would find that more annoying than a misused word. Because that is done blatantly and looks stupid.
Title: Re: you're != your Post by: Lord Nepenthean on November 17, 2004, 07:02:30 PM He claimed he was taught in school that the letter "A" should always be capitalized.
EDITED to add: He also claimed to make custom gun grips. Title: Re: you're != your Post by: Odonadon on November 17, 2004, 07:40:01 PM How can we forget Canon? I think he was more passively driven away than it was voluntary. All I can say is I'm glad. Hate that guy :)

I wish you had done that on purpose, especially considering the topic of this thread, but it almost seems that you didn't.
