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've stopped worrying about this spelling distinction since I started taking Linguistics courses. They're both /jɔɹ/ as far as I care, and while spelling you're/your correctly according to the situation may show that you care or that you're educated, I don't think it has anything to do with how correct your grammaticality judgments are. If you read that someone said "I left you're mail on the table there," you had no trouble reading that sentence because "I left you are mail on the table there" isn't a salient reading; you already have a verb in "left," so the you're/your must be a possessive article attaching to the noun "mail". OP, I think picking on him for the your/you're distinction is not really going to solve your problems even if he DOES agree to spell them correctly. Either you're sick of him not pulling his weight and you need to dump him if he doesn't change, or you can put up with it without making him look like an idiot.

I would dump his ass. It's one thing to make the mistake once and then do it correctly after being told you were wrong, but it's another to have to have it explained to you on a daily basis. I'm sorry your boyfriend is so retarded, OP.
