Today, I tried to explain to my 23-year-old boyfriend the difference between "your" and "you're". I do this every other day, but it's like his head is permanently stuck in the first grade. FML

OP here. I love my boyfriend, but you wouldn't BELIEVE how lazy and unmotivated he is sometimes. I think his attitude of not giving a **** goes back to how he's always been fed with a silver spoon and been given EVERYTHING in life. He feels as if he doesn't need to do anything, and that it's all up to everyone else. That goes for getting a job and earning money to pay the bills as well as stupid stuff like this. His attitude is "if they can figure it out, why should I care?" That doesn't make him a bad person, but it's hugely insensitive. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people here talking crap about me are exactly the same as he is. That "your" vs "you're" thing bugs the hell out of me anyway and it's not like committing the difference to memory is a hard thing. Long rant done, thanks. Edit: I didn't mean to reply to this comment. :S

I know the feeling. I have the same thing and mine's 39. He also doesn't know apostrophes and spells things was'nt and do'nt. Vehemently unapologetic about it too. It's apparently me who's a ridiculous idiot for being literate.

i am not that big on grammar but it drives me nuts when ppl use see and seen in the wrong 'tense' my friends all say things like "o ya i seen her the other day". like really wtf is that???

Your, you're, there, their, they're, two, too, to, then, than etc. all have different meanings. It is easy to remember the difference.

Oh god I'm scared that's what I'll be doing but with the words then & than

I have to do the same thing with my boyfriend

Solid grounds for dumping him. Seriously.
