Go away Rick...you’re beyong irrelevant.

Congratulations, you are among the very, very few on FR who knows that the spelling of "you're" is the correct one, i.e., the contraction of "you" and "are." Most spell it "your" which is a possessive pronoun, as in "I am using your computer."

Thanks. Now if I could only figure out how ‘beyond’ came out ‘beyong’...

Come on! Get with it! Everyone knows it’s “ur” now.

Yeah, he got “you’re” right, but then he had to say “beyong”
rather than “beyond”-—I know, it was a typo, but OTOH, maybe he was going for a Sarah Palin “refudiate” kind of made up word-—he could’ve been going for a combo of ‘being’
and ‘beyond’. And I don’t think a “very,very few” on FR spell “you’re” right, but an alarming number do spell it wrong.Misspellings abound here on FR, so much so that I’ve found I have to be very circumspect when I boldly venture forth to correct someone’s spelling.

Nothing is more irritating or takes away from one’s credibility than this- unless it's failure to capitalize like ‘i’ for ‘I’.
When I see a post start out like this, I just skip it.
