... In article , (TomyB) wrote: I have a nomber of photography related pieces of equiptment available for sale: Your a butt plug ! That would be: You're a butt plug! Free Spelling Lesson: Your = adj. The possessive form of you. 1. Used as a modifier before a noun: your boots; your accomplishments. 2. A person's; one's: The light switch is on your right. 3. Informal. Used with little or no sense of possession to indicate a type familiar to the listener: As in: Your bellows are getting ratty. ---- You're = Contraction of "you are". As in: You're going to sound illiterate if your spelling is incorrect. Your spelling lesson is finished. You're welcome. |

Free Spelling Lesson: Free Netiquette Lession: Take it to private e-mail. http://www.albion.com/netiquette/boo...702513p75.html ------------- The Spelling Flame It happens every day. Someone misspells a word in a public message. One or more people absolutely must publicly correct the error. Judging from the number of times this happens, there seem to be millions of high school English teacher wannabes in cyberspace. Spelling flames are bad Netiquette. If you feel absolutely compelled to correct someone's spelling or grammar, do so via private email. Keep in mind that English is not the first language of many people on the Internet. ------------- The clue here was the posters name. Just a heads up so you won't look so ignorant in the future. -- Stacey |

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 |

You managed to screw up a perfectly good spelling flame by introducing a "greengrocer's apostrophe": it's *members only*. -- It's fun to demonize the neo-cons and rejoice in their discomfiture, but don't make the mistake of thinking US foreign policy was set by Norman Podhoretz or William Kristol. They're the clowns capering about in front of the donkey and the elephant. The donkey says the UN should clean up after them, and the elephant now says the donkey may have a point. Somebody has come out with a dustpan and broom. - Alexander Cockburn, _CounterPunch_ (http://www.counterpunch.org), 9/17/03 |

The clue here was the posters name. That should be "poster's". I join the spelling-flame free-for-all (actually, in this case, a punctuation flame). After talking to a friend last night, I've decided to mount a last stand against the further degradation of what's left of our precious language. The original flame addressed an egregious common mis-usage (especially on Usenet and other parts of the Internet) confusing "your" and "you're". THEY'RE NOT THE SAME THING. Other sins: o "Very unique", "totally unique", "extremely unique". Being unique is like being pregnant: either you is or you ain't. o "There's a lot of ...": just plain sloppy usage, and WRONG. Should be "there are a lot of ...". Would you say (or write) "there is a lot of ..."? No, didn't think so. -- It's fun to demonize the neo-cons and rejoice in their discomfiture, but don't make the mistake of thinking US foreign policy was set by Norman Podhoretz or William Kristol.

The original poster probably doesn't use English as their first language either. Again usenet is -NOT- the place to try to make some stand about correct spelling or punctuation. -- Stacey |
