MM: You’re Kidding

mangled2

Sadly, it’s true. There are still people who get confused about when to use “your” and when to use “you’re.”

This one is really simple.

  • If you want to say, “You are,” you write “you’re.” It’s a contraction of the two words.
  • If you mean to denote possession, you want “your.” Your house. Your coloring book. Your computer.

See? Simple.
