I'm not a natural grammar Nazi. I don't correct everyone all the time. But I'm in college and my peers should know simple grammar. Your, you're, and there, their, and they're. I really thought these were SIMPLE English language basics- and by college level, should be common sense. I hate to think that peers with the same degree as myself will sound like such idiots in their written communications. Will I be compared to these people when trying to work with clients and customers?
So what the heck? I get that come time for job interviews, I'll be the one making proper word choice. However, how do I work side by side with a person that has had the same educational opportunities as myself yet can't seem to show possession in 'their' or understand that when you shorten "you are", you would get "you're"? How can you diagnose and treat developmentally disabled children when you're clearly incompetent on such a simple level?
I'm mad about something stupid. Well then, that was productive.
