I know so many people who mess up their "yours", and I have to say that it's one of my ultimate pet peeves.

No, not with your or you're but I'm starting to get confused with their and they're. I know they're is they are..so why am I confused? Ok, that wasn't the question.  |

There = position, location.
Their = ownership, eg: their book, their dog.
They're = They are (descriptive) they're coming over for dinner. I knew I should have been a grammar teacher. |

not really...there are only two of them...you're and Your...it shouldn't be that hard to distinguish by just looking at one of them. >>You're is you+are together, and i guess you can figure out what that means on (your) own.
