You guys are a bunch of pedantic weirdo's. lol... Unless it's someone you really care about, i.e. a sibling, why the !@"? would you care if they make mistakes with your, you're, their, they're, there etc?? I personally don't care, especially on here or msn. The important thing for me is that I understand the message, and I can't say I've ever been confused because someone didn't know the difference between your and you're. lol

Thankyou, that's what I've been saying! The only time I do care/read my writing over 3 times is when I'm in an English exam.

To be honest it annoys me when someone might be having an argument with me and they have really bad spelling/grammar/punctuation.
I feel compelled to point this out to them but I find it a cheap way to win an argument
