Thanks for the perfect example of my original point. 18 years, 70,000 posts.... if you only misuse "your" once every 10 posts, that's of course 7000 occurrences.
And you prefer to be given shit about it up to 7000 times and place the blame on this being a tough place and needing thick skin instead of simply learning the difference between your and you are.
It's weird.
And it's not "grammar on a BB" in the sense of someone not using complete/formal sentences or using slang or basically a less formal posting style like they're texting... (or using ellipses all the time...) it's literally using a completely different word that makes your sentences read like nonsense (granted, people are used to it by now, especially if they communicate with millennials). That's just an excuse... it's not like anyone who uses "you are" correctly is thinking about how to use it or proofreading.
It's actually pretty simple... if you mean to type "you are", then type you are.
