I seem to be having a bad "your" day. Should I just stick to "You are" instead of You're.
As my girlfriend says: whats the point of contracting "You are" to You're?

Ummmm, I guess the point is "you're" is easier to say, and it's less formal. Stick to "you are" if you want to, but think about this: If you say "you are" and you don't enunciate very well, will people think you said "you're"? Not that that would be a bad thing. It would probably help with spelling problems. So the question is, do you care enough about typos to change what you're saying?

Whichever way you want to do it, it's nice to see that somebody out there knows the shortened version of YOU ARE is YOU'RE and not YOUR which has a completely different meaning as I'm sure you know!

"Your" is a posessive pronoun. You're is a contraction for "You are." People get these mixed up all of the time or they just don't give a rat's ---! Have a nice day!!

Sounds like she's the one having a bad day if she's picking on your syntax! Go with it for today and hopefully the PMS will have subsided tomorrow!

It's a feature of the english language. Why not use it?

If you get tired of (a) you can use (') instead. Sometimes I get mad at (a) and decide to boycott it. Then I use you're.

Depends whether you are (you're) writing formally or informally.
