[quote=@Vilageidiotx] If a mistake is so commonly made, it means that the distinction no longer has a meaningful function. Your/You're can (and just very well might) melt into a single word and it will not harm the language in any way. Your just being pedantic. [/quote] No, that would be retarded. The difference between you're and your is significant enough that merging the two is impractical. Every other European language has the same distinction. Just because native English speakers and ignorant foreigners keep making that mistake doesn't mean it's beneficial to the language. "Honey, you're home!" Versus "Honey, your home!" "My home what?"
