It's "You're," Damn it!

I just read a blog whose writer doesn't seem to have grasped basic contractions.
"Your" and "you're" are two different words.
Here's a handy guide for when to use which word:

It is "your" problem.
"You're" is a contraction for "you are."

Being absent that day in third grade is no excuse.
Sometimes a person fucks up and uses the wrong word. That's allowed.
When a person uses "your" in place of "you're" five or six times in one blog, that's just plain fucking annoying.
There should be junior blogs for people who can't be bothered to get it right.
Either that or we need some apostrophe police who confiscate the apostrophe keys off these slackers' computers.
