YOUR, YOU'RE, YOU ARE, YOURE, YOU-R, U-R, YOU'RE, YOU'R

Who cares.

We all managed skip over a misuse of YOUR instead of YOU'RE.  That
wasn't a big deal, but then we all get free "English lessons from someone 
who doesn't know present tense from past tense".

If you insist on teaching grammar skills to the rest of the internet,
please do so in e-mail so hundreds or thousands of us don't have to see it.

I am contradicting this principle right now, but this message will 
helpful show all those spelling/grammar POLICE to see the uselessness of 
trying to embarrass someone in public.

If YOUR (pun) a real nerd, you will critique this message that I have
written, and waste even more bandwith than I have.
