Ooh ooh, can I do one?

You + Are = You're

Your and You're are in different categories
His, her, your, my
He's, she's, you're, I'm

"Your stupid, complete you're offer" is WRONG okay?

whenever I think of people who say looser, I think of Pauly Shore in Encino Man. The way I say it in my mind makes me think of that...

There is no 's' at the end of "anyway." evil

I have seen != I seen. It is, "I saw" or "I have seen." They are NOT interchangeable.

I, when used as a pronoun, should be capitalized. While I realize that some people are just lazy, I truly wonder how their English homework looks when they turn it in.

I also do not believe ebonics should be considered a separate language. If there are classes in ebonics offered, then there should be classes in engrish as well.

Btw, I have my BA in English, and while I have not memorized ALL the rules to the english language, I do have a firm grasp on the basics.

I hear you on "looser" -- I usually don't get that irritated when someone misspells something, particularly in "quick" writing like in a chat room or forum post (after all, their/there/they're are all legitimate words and are all pronounced the same), but "loose" as a misspelling of "lose" just drives me up the wall. I'm not entirely sure why -- just one of my pet peeves I suppose.

(Unless it's obviously a typo and I could tell it was an accident, anyway.)

Haha classes on Engrish, that would be great.
