Grammar and Spelling Help
The object of this thread is to help those who want to be helped with spelling and grammar.
Do you know the difference between your and you’re?
Or, are you thinking, “I don’t know my grammar from a hole in the ground?”
Are you trying to dig yourself out of that grammar hole?
Your is a possessive pronoun: it belongs to you; it’s yours; you possess something.
You’re is a contraction; it is the shortened form of you are.
This is only one example of what can go wrong with grammar. Spelling is another thing altogether.
Example#1
I'd like to have a download of [your/you're] theme.
Think: I'd like to have a download of [you are] theme. Nope, that doesn't work, so it must be your (possessive).
Example#2
I'd like to know if [your/you're] modifying the theme.
Think: I'd like to know if [you are] modifying the theme (yep, that works!).
So, give us your questions on spelling or grammar and your pet grammar peeves, etc.
And, above all, let’s enjoy this thread and help to educate each other.
