A Simple and Quick Grammar Lesson With Serena

So, I'm going to do you guys a favor and give you a quick lesson in grammar to help improve your writing, because I'm also getting very annoyed when I get PM's filled with the completely wrong use of "your" and "it's."

The your's.

Your: it's possesive, meaning it's something that belongs to you.
Example Sentence: "Is that your bag over there?"

You're: it means "you are," hence the apostrophe.
Example Sentence: "You're hilarious!"

The there's.

There: it means a place.
Example Sentence: "Do you want to meet up over there?"

They're: it means "they are," hence the apostrophe.
Example Sentence: "They're a huge fan of poptarts."

Their: just like "your," it's possesive. This means that it belongs to you, or that person.
Example Sentence: "Oh, that's not your pencil, it's their pencil."

The its'.

Its: this is used to describe something about a particular thing/person/place/etc.
Example Sentence: "Oh, that's not supposed to go here because of its blue color."

It's: this means "it is," hence the apostrophe.
Example Sentence: "It's on the top shelf."

See how quick and painless that was? Short and sweet. It irks me that not everyone knows this stuff. Sigh..... I guess I will forever be a grammar Nazi.

...

You know, I seriously hate that term. "Grammar Nazi...." I just really hate it, especially after learning about the Holocaust in class more in depth.

So, instead of using the term, "Grammar Nazi," I'm changing it to "Grammar Poptartisaurus."

It's official now. Feel free to use that.

SPREAD THE GRAMMAR POPTARTISAURAS LOVEEEEEEE!!!

Ok I'm done now.
