I'm starting to get concerned that no one appears to know how to spell anymore. I mean, is it really so hard to decipher between their, there, and they're?
Most concerning is the blatant disregard for the 'RE at the end of you're - as in YOU ARE. Please note: This is NOT spelled YOUR. There is an
're at the end that seems to have run away. Why can no one locate it?
Let's practice: You're amazing! = correct. Your amazing = WRONG.
I wish it didn't bother me so much, but I must admit that when someone is texting me and/or emailing me and they can't spell, I get a bit turned off. I start to judge them. I don't want to....but, I do.
I can't help it. We all went to the same schools, right? I mean, they taught English in school as I recall. Why can no one spell? Or use the proper of its? It's = it is.
My friend and I were talking about it last night and, thankfully, she shares my love for the proper use of spelling and grammar. Maybe that's why we're friends? :)
If anyone happens to know where the missing 're has gone to, please let me know. I've been looking everywhere for it.
