Every time I see somebody type, "your stupid," I want to hit that person with a skillet (preferably a large one). YOU'REis a contraction of YOU and ARE. YOUR is the possessive form of YOU. IT'S is a contraction of IT and IS, whereas ITS is the possessive form of IT. I don't mind spelling errors, or some grammatical mistakes, but I live in Westchester (one of the richest counties in the U.S.) and I saw a highschool girl make the word DOG plural by adding an apostrophe and S. "i have 2 dog's." In a different sentance in the same composition she left out the apostrophe in LET'S. Also, many adults I know don't know the difference between AFFECT and EFFECT. EFFECT is a noun, AFFECT is a verb. I can only conclude that our schools aren't teaching grammar, even though they have the resources to.
