    I’m sorry. Can people please learn the fucking difference between “your” and “you’re”?

      I’m sorry that you’re annoyed by my simple mistake, but that’s your problem.

      I feel like it’s really hard for people who learnt after smartphones. When autocomplete gets it wrong they don’t notice

      Obviously the way of remembering which is which is “you’re” is short for “you are” (hence the apostrophe) and “your” isn’t. But they also need to practice while keeping that rule in mind

      English as a second language people seem to do better than first language users

          Maybe as autocorrect becomes more LLM powered it will get better at correcting spelling of similar words

      “You’re” = “you are” when “Your” indicate that own something
