Ummm....
I grew up being using mostly correct grammar, having been taught well in school. Or, having paid attention in school. It is interesting to me how good grammar still seems to be valued these days, but not used a lot. I think one factor is the use of shorthand words for text messaging. Or I at least wonder if that could be a reason for so many people confusing "you're" with "your." Because in a text message, you usually get away with "ur" and it is understood what you mean. But when people are actually typing out everything they're saying, people have become too lazy or something. I see a lot of, "Your so nice." People leave out punctuation, sure, "cant" instead of "can't", but the your/you're thing is just weird because they mean different things. You are (you're) the person that annoys everyone when you correct people's bad grammar, so I don't usually say anything about it, I just cry a little inside...
