Grammar 101 - Needlessly Pedantic Grammar Pet Peeves (merged)
it's not just here but everywhere i turn it seems that people need a refresher on the use of the following... (it's a pet peeve of mine)
your- used to indicate ownership
you're- contraction meaning you are
their- possesive of they, indicates ownership
there- a location
they're- they are
