I was once one of the sad souls afflicted by the curse of the your vs you're... But I have been trying ,and recently I noticed that I am actually succeeding! I am almost cured, I use your and you're almost fully correctly now!

Welcome to the internet. First I shall explain why this logic works on the internet, in mathematical terms of course.

speed = s
time to type = t
winner = w
your = a
you're = b
a > b
s > b
s=a
w = s + t

We are all looking to for the quickest way to do anything, so therefore, we want to = "s". "a" is also greater than "b", so as internet users, we always want to be greater. So why use "b" if "a" is both faster and greater than "b"? Therefore, we use "a" in all instances where b could be used. We all want to be winners, so in the equation w=s+t, we can substitute "a" in because "a" = "s". By using "a" we can be the winners, while "b" we are not. So therefore, by the associative property, by using "a" we are the winners, and by using "b" your not. Since by using "b", you are not the winner, we can only determine that by not being the winner, you are thus, in fact the losers. And since Grammar Nazi's use "b" we can use the associative property to conclude that they too, are losers. Hint: Nothing is correct on the Internet, so correctness will play no part in this equation.

P.S. Since I, in fact, used "your" where grammar nazis would have used "you're" I = winner.

EDIT: This is a joke. I could care less if people use your or you're. Our brains are able to make sense of it either way, and this is the internet. I do not expect high standards.

it takes a whole milisecond for you to type out the extra " ' " and " e " for you're. don't be so ignorant.

you

He isn't and he probably knows the differences, but he knows how the internet works and he is pointing out why the internet times like that. You not listening to his reasoning makes you more ignorant.

This reminds me of an episode of the office. Lets imagine that Kevin is the internet and Jim are grammar Nazis.

lols.... I did read what he wrote so in fact I did 'listen'. trying to make me look ignorant will not work, son.

it's difficult to read someone saying, "your stupid' to anyone.

Jesus christ demon, loosen the fuck up, kris just made an awesome statement, and now you are just being an ass about it. Wtf dude. we r on the internet ergo we shall speak how we like to. typing is not as fast as speaking, so in an effort to relay messages quicker/more efficiently, words r shortened into a form that is still legible, but much quicker to type. lern2internet.

@Kriskills : Holy crap dude, I read all of that like 3 times and I still can't get how that it suposed to work.. I guess streaming music and trying to figure weird stuff dosn't go well together. And then again it all makes sense, you're a genius anyway to come up wit that.

@Demonxman : An y u be callin' HIM ignorant? I know you're a troll but do you have to troll in every post you make -.-

On a serious note, I see people go through the effort to use "you're" when they should use "your" all the time, so I'd say the typing time isn't the issue here.

This was meant to just be funny though, I didn't want to start a flame war...

You're not using your you're correctly. Better get your act together or you might end up in the days of yore.
