as much as possible. Many use UR for you are, you're. Twitter can be very aggravating

Just say the sentence and see if "you are" fits where you use "your" or "you're". If it fits, it is the abbreviated "you're".

Your excuse sucks.
You're not trying.

Get it? Easy peasy.

I know the difference between "you're" and "your" and never confuse them with the exception of "you're welcome". This stems from the fact that I almost never actually see that phrase written down, only verbalized, so I'm never sure, in a situation where I should use it, whether I should say "you're welcome" or "your welcome".

in that the reaction supports and feeds the Republican party's narrative about all the hoity-toity dumbocrats who think their so dam smart.

And this time he wasn't even doing the official rebuttal!

This incredible wingnut dingbat manages to make a fool of himself even when nobody's watching him.

Some advice for ya, Bobby: when you're in a hole, STOP DIGGING!

I don't understand the fuss. Does it have to do with his cutting the education budget, then using "your" for "you're"??? As a retired English teacher, I've become exhausted by the national leaders who mix these up (both parties). There are at least a hundred such mixups with the pronunciation and misuse of words that I catch every week, just watching a few hours of TV in the evening. Otherwise, I'm going crazy trying to see what I missed. As far as I'm concerned, Jindal is an idiot. I just don't see what I missed.
