Must be an obsessive compulsive thing. "You're" (meaning you are) almost right.

Henro, I couldn't agree more with you. This whole grammar/spelling thing is a bit like life. You try to do the best you can but it's sometimes difficult to totally obey someone else's rules, especially when you can't see a good reason for them. Sometimes "getting by" is good enough. Besides the primary function of language is to communicate and it's a dynamic thing, it's always changing. The rules that applied yesteryear don't necessarily apply today. So maybe the fact that we mangle the English language just means that we are progressive thinkers, ahead of our time. The only exception that I would make to that would be rap and ebonics ... but even then !!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's as philosophical as I'm going to get for today.

How often do you see the words "I" and "me" misused, depending on whether they are the subject or object of a verb?
