It's short for 2 words "you are"

"Can I ask what you're doing here?"

If it belongs to you, then it's *yours.
*
"Thats yours not mine"

There. It's really not that hard!!! 🙈🤷‍♀️

OP, you're going to get shredded for not putting this in Pedants' Corner. I agree with you though, as it's jarring to read the incorrect form.

It's short for 2 words, that is.

You’ll be shredded…but I do agree.

Aren't you supposed to commit an error in your rant about grammar? A fine example of Muphry's Law! 😆

Reminds me of the difference between

knowing your shit
and
knowing you're shit.

Ohhh ha ha just saw OP’s error. Love. Good example of true irony because they are rare. Thank you. 😆

LizBennet · 11/07/2022 08:20

It clearly is "that" hard for some, if so many are making the mistake?

onelittlefrog · 11/07/2022 08:21

It is always quite funny when people who make these posts have errors in their own grammar 😅

No. It's Muphry's Law.

Look it up.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 11/07/2022 08:30

That's exactly the joke @Bluebellbike 🙂

And there is a difference between "he's" and "his"

It's NOT "his gone to the shop"

Seeing that so often now.

Oh God, I hate this one

‘Been’ for ‘being’ seems quite prevalent now too.

’It’s just kids been kids’ or similar.
