Actually that IS the way you spell "you're" if you are under 25! Unless you are texting, in which case you only need the last two letters.

Try running it through your grammar checker if you really want a surprise. Betcha it doesn't find more than about two, three things wrong with it.

Yes, yes, yes, it lacks apostrophes I know I know I have a spell checker It came with my PC It plainly marks for my review Mistakes I cannot see I strike a key and type a word And wait for it to say Whether I am wrong or right It shows me straight away As soon as a mistake is made It knows before too long And I can put the error right It's rarely ever wrong I have run this poem through it I am sure you're pleased to know It's letter perfect all the way My checker told me so. Please, God! I hope I didn't screw anything up!!! :0)

Thanks for that Faldage - brings back memories of learning phonetics nearly 25 years ago! I remember that story and I've always wanted to find that again!
