Who are you trying to impress?

It makes you look like an idiot with all the lies, weirdo.

what lies? Most people i know started drinking around 16 years old and it became a regular occurrence. Now we have all reached 18 it turns into a 3 nights a week routine, the mates i have in their 20's are even worse for it. I'm not trying to impress anyone. The fact you decided to have a go at me for pretty much nothing begs me to ask who you are trying to impress?

I see you didn't risk using 'your' or 'you're'. Best to play it safe, eh?

well spotted good sir

I wish I was as mental as you.

they amount i drink is actually quite average. Most people i know are exactly the same. I'm nowhere near 'mental'

Understand the proper usage of the word you need. The best way to do that is to sound it out. There is a replacement test that will tell you for certain which word will fit. Read your sentence with "you are" in place of the "your/you're," intended. If it makes sense, then "you're" would be right. If not, then "your" would fit. You could also replace "your" with "my" in the sentence. If it fits, then use "your."

2

Write You're as a contraction or a combination, of the words you and are. Other examples of contractions include doesn't for does not, they're for they are, and can't for can not.

"You're a good friend" means "You are a good friend."

"I don't know what you're talking about" means "I do not know what you are talking about."

3

Write your as the possessive form of you, referring to something that a person has, something that belongs to the person in question, or the person you are talking to.

"Is your stomach growling?"

"Your book is on the table."

4

Wrong again!

Take a look at some examples. Each of the following examples shows an incorrect use of your/you're, and why it is incorrect.

"I can't read you're handwriting."

Incorrect, because the contraction for "you are" is being used in place of the possessive form of you. I can't read you are handwriting doesn't make sense. It should be replaced with "your".

"If your hungry, then you should probably eat something."

Incorrect because there is no possession in question. this passes the replacement test. Rewriting it with "you are" fits. This should be replaced with you're, or you are.

"I think your very smart."

Again, incorrect. The "very smart" does not belong to the person that you are talking to — this doesn't make any sense. Replace your with you're, or you are.

edit Tips

English can be complicated, because there's an exception to every rule. Ex.: Keep in mind that the word your will never be followed by the words the, a, or an.

The word your will usually not be followed by an adjective, a word that describes, when that adjective is describing the person that you are talking to. In other words, saying "Your very kind" will almost never be correct. "Your very kind" would be correct if they were describing a noun, as in "Your nice son brought me my coat." Here, your nice is correct because nice is describing the person's son.

Remember that you're is actually a combination of two words and thus fulfills two very important roles in a sentence or clause. Because it includes both a pronoun and a verb, you're will always be the subject and at least part of the verb of any clause in which it appears.

Try replacing "your" or "you're" with "you are" if you are unsure which to use. If the sentence makes sense, use "you're." Remember that only "you're" is a contraction. The apostrophe in "you're" signifies the omission of the letter "a." If the sentence does not make sense, you will know to use "your."

For example:

"You're a good writer!" and "You are" a good writer!" "You are" makes sense in this sentence, so you can use "you're."

"I cannot read you're handwriting." and "I cannot read you are handwriting." "You are" does not make sense in this sentence, so you should use "your."

Try not to think that proper writing is strictly "academic". It makes you appear more intelligent. More importantly, it eliminates the risk of bad habits "slipping out" in situations in which it is critical to convey propriety, such as writing a college essay or a job résumé.

Just remember "You're not spelling your words correctly," and it all falls into place.

edit Warnings

There is another word, yore, that sounds just the same as you're and your. Yore refers to times long past and isn't used often in casual speech.

Simple grammatical errors, such as incorrect use of your and you're, can harm how others perceive your credibility when they read your compositions. It is in your best interest to learn how to use these words properly.

you are a sad c**t

I don' t know if you have heard of a tv sitcom called Cheers!. I read this recently. Cliff Claven's Buffalo theory: " well you see Norm, its like this.....A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way , the human brain can only operate as fast as its slowest brain cells. Now as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that Norm, is why you feel smarter after a few beers".

If its only my best brain cells left then i should never have been born

If you don't pay mobile bills for whatever reason, they just pass you on to a debt collector who are normally pretty ruthless at chasnng up debt, plus it will affect your credit rating.

I'm having my last beer as an underager, this is an emotional moment.

Welcome matty! As has already been said it becomes shit from here on in as the thrill disappears and the drink effects you more aswell if you've been drinking consistently for a while like me ((every week 16-18) 3 times a week for the past year) you'll eventually lose your memory that's when the thrill comes back as you try and figure out what happened

There is a bright light coming from Glasgow City Centre - maybe a little further than that. It could well be floodlights, but I can't think of anything in that direction that would emit such light (except maybe Celtic Park, but I think that's a little far out).

Anyone got any ideas?

I would save lichtie, and breed him. I would have a family of lichties running around a locked house and watch them on my cameras. Sometimes i would throw some intriguing object into the house and watch them surround it and start pacing around it gently prodding it every so often. I would have fun watching that, then i would throw in a family of dubras' (dubs and supras children when they finally get it on) and watch the havoc unfold.......

Just got told about, and started listening to a guy called redrum, strange kind of music but it's intriguing to the ear listened to a few songs and they sound similar to each other but using the shuffle function and mixing it with other songs leads to joyous times! Anyone else heard of said artist?
