I am rather amazed at how many people on this site use these words incorrectly.Have that many people failed their English classes?
What do you think ? What is your opinion ? Or, What is you're opinion?

Let me give you my opinion my friend;Your,you're and you are have differences and there is nothing wrong with it--the word your is an adjective relating to yourself.The words you're is a shorten of you are.Please don't judge the people that they are using it incorrectly or they failed to attend their English classes? Not everybody is perfect in Grammar, remember this.If your mind is open to the world you will know that there are some countries that are not using English language from the very beginning.Otherwise some of mylot users are just trying to participate not minding if their english usage is right or wrong,If you understand correct grammar then you will be the one who will understand what these people mean.Everybody has a freedom. Check the last part of your question.

I can't throw any stones because I never realized the difference between them until I was about 16. My English teachers never explained it to me in a way I could understand. I would see the same thing written in different ways. Actually, I learned the difference on my own. I used to chat with someone who typed nearly perfect over the Internet. She would use each accordingly to the sentence. One day, I just sat down and thought about it. It's not rocket science. I felt a bit slow in the noggin when I realized the difference, actually. lol
