I find that when I try to justify my dislike of consistent
misspellings (esp. your and you're type misspellings), it comes down
to this: it is just (somewhat irrationally) irritating. I feel the
same way (sort of) when my sister squishes shampoo bottles and then
closes them so they stay squished, or when my brother sits down to
watch TV and automatically picks up a piece of paper and starts
tearing it into little, teensy bits. I think that a lot of flaming
about grammar comes from a gut surge of irritation, then justified
(and my position is, usually correctly, but see 'consistent' above).
Now, did that make any sense? (I know it wasn't entirely grammatically
correct)
