Since you're being a grammar nazi - inbred is an adjective, not a noun. "You're inbred and..." would be correct. :P

Not quite right as your're is a contraction of You and are, and they're is also the same. So it would be 'You're right there' as there means the same as here, ie location - but you probabaly already know that, and who am I to be a grammer Nazi lulz

It's is NOT used as a possessive. It's used in place of "It is"
It's a cat. It's my favorite flavor. The cat is licking its paw. The house is missing its roof.

That's not as simple as you might think - the possessive 'its' is the exception to the rule. Any other time you would put an apostrophe there. For example, "The house's roof is missing' becomes 'Its roof is missing'. It's not entirely obvious why there's this exception, but perhaps the best way of thinking of it is that it's a convenient way to distinguish between the possessive and the contraction "it's". So it generally doesn't bother me when people get it wrong because there's not a huge amount of logic to it anyway.

For the record, I wasn't being a grammar Nazi so much as I was invoking Cheohumor.

Also, inbred can be used as an adjective and a noun.

omg

your right!

Robbi · 07-29-2009, 10:12 AM

OMG,

Who cares

and Rudd, it's Oh My God

Rudd · 07-29-2009, 10:21 AM

I think you'll find Robbi that capital letters should not be used in the middle of a sentance like that.

However, that is an excellent use of the comma, I congratulate you sir!

Engineer · 07-29-2009, 10:32 AM

Should it be Sir, with capital letter?

Rudd · 07-29-2009, 10:34 AM

I think its only Sir when used in the title of a knight.

However I could be incorrect in my assumption.

Does this mean everyone is going to start spelling 'colour' and 'armour' properly aswell?
