Grammar Propaganda

I'm sick of seeing things like this: "Your so cool," et cetera. It's "YOU'RE so cool." The word "your" implies ownership, whereas "you're" simply means "you are."

TyPINg LiKe tHiZ iS aNnOyinG, AND SO iiS TYPiiNG liiKE THiiS. If you are a perfectly normal teenager/adult, you have no excuse for typing in this manner.

"Its" and "it's" are not the same word. "Its" implies ownership and is a pronoun. "It's" is the contraction for "it is."

Punctuation goes inside the quotation marks, not outside.
Example: "Lorem ipsum," "Lorem ipsum..." "Lorem ipsum?" "Lorem ipsum!" "Lorem ipsum."

"To" is used at the beginning of a prepositional phrase and does not express quantity.
Example: I want to go to the fair.
"Too" implies an quantity of some sort.
Example: That's too much!
"Two" is the number between one and three.

"There" is a place.
"Their" implies ownership in the third person.
"They're" means "they are."

"Irregardless" is not a word. The correct word is "regardless."

You don't do "good," you do "well."
Example: "I'm doing well!" "He's doing well." "I'm well."
"Good" is used as such: "Good job!"

"Alot" does not exist. "Allot" does, and it means "to distribute."
The correct phrase is "a lot," and it is not used in formal writing.

"Affect" and "effect" are not the same word. When you "affect" something, you are doing something. The "effect" is the result.

When you say "I could care less," you are implying not that you don't care, but that you do care somewhat, but you don't care very much. The correct phrase is "I couldn't care less."

It's "congratulations," not "congradulations."
