Yes I do but choose not to use proper grammar on cafemom. I use your,there and too for everything on here. Oh well!

Yes, I even know the difference between their, there, and they're.

[SRUsarahSC]

yes.

[crazygirl907]

Yes, but I always have to think through affect and effect which never fails in making me feel dumb. :)

[D.O.E.]

your is proprietary , insinuating ownership.

you're is an abbreviated form of "you are"  

the same rules apply in regards to;

There - " they live over there" 

Their - " it was their day to walk the dog"  "their kids drive me nuts"

They're - "they are in town tonight"
