no.178 grammar girl

Yea that's right, i entitled this blog in spite of a pop-culture TV show.

lots of people use their blog to spout off random rants and raves... i don't do this, so here it goes.

i absolutely hate the improper use of the contraction, "you're." really, how hard is it to conceptualize?

Case Study:
- i want to say that the word pretty describes you, and that the word nice describes the hair-do you wear

Product:
- You are pretty, and your hair-do is nice.

OR (if i want to be at least as smart as a 7 year old, i'd say this...)

- You're pretty and your hair-do is nice.

REALLY, people? how hard is it to contract two words?

You + are = You're

You + are ≠ Your

"Your" is the possesive form of You. There, i'm done ranting. to the idiots of the world.
