your and you're

your: possessive form of you


you're: contraction of "you are"


They have completely different meanings! If you have issues with this one, replace the word with "you are" in your head. If it fits, then use "you're" instead of "your."


Let's look at the sentence I just wrote, "In your head." Would that make any sense at all if I had written "In you're head"? No! That is pretty much the same as saying "In you are head" which sounds like something a crazy person would say (or something to say to a crazy person). 


We can look at the use of "your" in much the same way. To say, "Your beautiful" is basically stating that the person you are talking to owns something beautiful.. or something! I don't know! It makes no sense! Look:


"Your beautiful."
"My beautiful what?!"


It should be "You're beautiful" which equals "You are beautiful."


Your lack in using words correctly makes you appear as if you're crazy! See what I did there? :)

THERE YOU GO. My longest Know Your Language post ever (take note it is not "Know You're Language" which would still work, but have a completely different meaning!)
