I don't know why "u r" or "ur" has become an acceptable substitute for "you are". It's one thing to make a spelling mistake, or a typo here and there; No one's perfect. But lazy "abbreviations" like "sum", "wut", "nuttin", "2", "ppl", are completely worthless. It's only a few extra seconds, and it adds, if nothing else, atleast a small shred of credibility to usually infantile posts usually negated by the moronic spellings. Is anyone else as annoyed by this as I am? No U R ANNOYING !!! its allright as long as u understand them.  | ||

They're, Their, There: A Lesson In Grade 2 English ------- "They're" is a contraction, combining two words, "They" and "Are". Proper: They're going to the store. IMPROPER: They're car is a rusty pile of shit. "Their" is possessive. It refers to a group of people owning something. Proper: Their car is a rusty pile of shit. IMPROPER: Their going to the store. "There" refers to location. Proper: The rusty pile of shit is over there. IMPROPER: There going to the store. ------- You're and Your: A Lesson In Not Being Fucking Retarded. ------- "You're" is another contraction, combining the words "You" and "are". It's accusative. Proper: You're an idiot. IMPROPER: Your an idiot. "Your" is possessive, it refers to ownership by an individual. Proper: Your car is a rusty pile of shit. IMPROPER: Your an idiot. -------- And it's spelled "DEFINITELY", not "DEFINATELY"  Hope this helps everyone who doesn't understand elementary-level english! | ||

Speaking of lessons! This one is my favorite It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it is. If you don't, it's its. Then too, it's hers. It isn't her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs. -- Oxford University Press, Edpress News Also one of my favs: http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2002-10-11&res=l | ||

It will look good their. Anyhow seriously, those common mistakes are so annoying to read its like looking at someone with alot of hair infront of their forehead and you just feel so uncomfortable looking at it that you just want to move it. | ||

I don't have a problem with internet abbreviating. It is when people try to make ebonics a full language that i get annoyed. "Can't" is a contraction. "U R" is not a contraction. | ||
