Careful, you are coming across as a pompous elitist liberal.

Intelligence, content is not determined by english usage or spelling - no matter how others will say it is. Proper usage only promotes the "impression" that there is intelligence.

Yea, it's petty. I've done it and I got A'S in ENG and spelling. It happens when one is typing fast and brain is engaged on what (you're, your) trying to say.
