"Yore" refers to time long ago while "you're" is a contraction of the words "you and are".

I think you mean your and you're. Your is possessive, like your coat, your hair. You're is the contraction of you are, like you're pretty, you're tall. The same goes for their and they're. Yore refers to time long past, like "in the days of yore." It also could be colloquial (local slang) for your.

Yore is an adverb meaning long ago. You're is a contraction of you are. I think that is what you wanted to know anyway.

Yore - means long ago.
You're is the contraction for you are.

Yore is an old English term for “A time long past”. You’re is a contraction of “You are”
Saying “yore right” doesn’t even make sense; saying “You’re right” dose.
If you want to be possessive it’s just “your”, but if you want it to be a contraction it “you’re”.

yore refers to old times...like if u say tales of "yore" it means tales of past times....while you're natually is a shortened version of you are....as u see...a big difference between the meanings!!

yore is not a word.
Your is the word you're looking for. "Your" is posessive. Meaning that I am talking about something that belongs to you. for example: "is this YOUR pencil?"
You're is a contraction. It's the words "you" and "are" stuck together. example: "YOU'RE not very good at grammar are you?"

I think you mean your and you're
For example:
"yore" is your spelling error. (Your is possessive, denotes ownership)
You're a poor speller. (Sorry it's too easy to tease. You're is short for you are.)
