Well if you can't manage to use the correct words, it does bring you're credibility into question.

    I've found that people speaking English as a second language are usually better than the average native speaker when it comes to grammar. Something like 'your/you're' is an easily learned rule. It's the native English speakers who don't know it only through stupidity. They've been taught, but they don't care and just spew words that 'sound right' without thinking. And this mentality usually mirrors their discourse in terms of thoughts, logic and morality.

    Tazing a sports streaker feels like punching Grandma in the face for taking too much mashed potatoes.

    Completely justified in both cases, the old baggage needs to learn to stop hoarding the spuds.

    Imagine pissing off Grandma so much that she attacks you randomly. Like a bat. The furry disease creature, not the baseball.... Tool? Are sports gears considered tools? Or toys? Do professional athletes just play with toys all day?? Holy ADHD it's gonna be a day....

    Looks like a streaker at a sporting event being tazed by security.

    Well I mean if that's the only gripe then obviously I agree with your comment.

    Something I had to learn over the years is that people tend to get butthurt if you don't compliment them before criticizing or correcting them.

    Lol I take that as a W. A you're-your correction is just cope. The wrong ur almost never an issue with communication but it you can find the exception it's hilarious

    Ironically it is generally the anglosphere who sucks at their grammar. Since native speakers mostly learn it by speaking and listening they have a harder time with those they're, there, their situations, while everyone else learns it as a second language, primarily through reading and writing. The latter is obviously better suited for good grammar.

    I have also heard that English is actually a pretty hard language as well, it has so many goofy nuances like your, you're, or there, their, they're. Or words with different meanings like the whole Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Bufalo thing.
