Learn It & Love It
Your = Denotes ownership. Example - "Is that your beer?"
You're = Contraction of you are. Example - "You're sure there's no more beer?"
Thanks for playing along.
ps- Don't even get me started on There/They're/Their

MY personal grammatical peeve is using an apostrophe to make something plural. I see it on business signs all the time!!

I'm a nut about that stuff, too...although, I'm more of an apostrophe nut. The sad part is that, when I'm really tired, I tend to make the their/they're, your/you're typos. I don't proofread unless it's professional writing...so I've been known to reread comments and post additional comments correcting my mistakes. Ugh!
