Correcting they're statuses? Your really smart.

The English language and the internet don't work well together.
Its really not hard to find a grammatical error on the web, they're is probably at least one on every page you read.

Especially on facebook.
Woah nelly.
You'll find that almost every second status has some incorrectly using words.

Your & You're.
Their, There & They're.
Its & It's.

Its pretty friggen annoying.
But do you know what's worse?
The intellectually gifted mastermind who can pick up on these insignificant grammatical flaws and correct the person on them.
Not even weaving in a hilariously subtle joke, rather commenting with a simple asterix followed by the correct word.

your.

The concept which I have trouble grasping, is why these pimples feel the need to make such corrections?
Does it feed the ego? Pathetic if it does.
Does it make them look smart? No.
Wait, strike that. It makes them look as sexy as Stephen Hawking, so in a way it kind of does make them look smart.


Oh mortal, how you're insolence amuses me.
