It's Parabola here teaching you about the fun of using proper grammar!
Now, you may be saying to yourself, "If I use proper grammar, people might actually take my point seriously and not get frustrated by my incoherant posts!", but give it a chance! You just may like the results.
Now for a few pointers:
Some of you get a little confused by this simple, simple concept, but that's okay, most of you are Canadians! No one expects YOU to get it, but I'll try to explain it using things that are familiar to Canadians!
There, Their, and They're
Their demonstrates ownership such as, "That is their hockey stick."
They're is a contraction of 'they are'. Instead of saying "There going to see Rush," you would say, "They're going to see Rush."
Your and You're
Your expresses ownership. "I'm going into the barn to fuck some of your sheep."
You're, on the other hand, is a contraction of 'you are'. It would be, "Are you sure that you're making the igloo out of the right snow?" not "Are you sure that your making the igloo out of the right snow?"
I hope that this little lesson was as fun for you as it was for me! See you soon!
