I feel bad I had to be the grammar police...

So, I ordered a pdf invite from Etsy. The seller sent it to me last night and I had to email her back to let her know that she needed to change YOUR to either YOU'RE or YOU ARE. 

I didn't notice originally on the listing but seriously has she sent this out to people and NO ONE ELSE has said anything?

  • OMG.  Your and You're is one of my biggest pet peeves.
  • Don't feel bad.  She is selling a product and it should be done right.  The invitation is pretty cute otherwise. 
     
  • Yikes!  I wonder how many people didn't catch that and have sent it out as is? 

    cute invite though!!

    Oh my! Please tell me the one she advertised on Etsy had the proper spelling of you're.

    Nope, the one I posted is the one she advertised. I was drawn to the whale design and really didn't read the top since they are same the same thing for the most part. I did notice it later but figured she had to know at this point.

    Wow.  Grammar is going down the tubes.  Than/then misuse makes my skin crawl and I see it all the time.

    At least you were able to help.

  • Lately I've also noticed people confusing woman/women.  I don't know how you can mix that up!
