YOU'RE!

When you are trying to say YOU ARE, as in "You're crazy,"
it's Y O U apostrophe R E.

You're.

When you are trying to denote possession, such as "your crossbow,"
it's Y O U R.

Your.

It's that simple. "You're" is a contraction of "you are." "Your" means "belonging to you."

Your humility pleaseth me. You may rise, save that thou never again offend the grammar of your mother tongue.

schme, I am so tempted to delete any post after your first when you double/triple post...

Don't tempt me - you post whore supreme...

don't play the fool with me young man...

So often, you post something, then another one or two straight after. Part of me finds the patience and dedication that takes somewhat admirable - I know there is an enforced delay between posts... Part of me admires the post whore nature of it - grabbing posts wherever you can, in numerous quantities, added to by double/triple posting - I should know, I'm a self-admited post whore sometimes.. But double posting - that's extreme... And it is that which part of me finds somewhat admirable

The rest of me finds it deeply annoying...

I am sorry, but I do not know what you mean. I don't really use computers much apart from this, and I'm not really familiar with internet lingo, espicially not English internet lingo.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean.

Schme, you'll post, and then usually the next post SHOULD come from someone else. But you like to post after yourself (the doublepost) or post after your own doublepost (the infamous Tripler).

There is an edit button so if you feel the need to add stuff, do it that way.

EDIT: Common courtesy is to make mention of what you did edit, like this right here <-

Neither of these are sentence fragments. They are merely short sentences.

The first has a subject (your--which, being in quotes, becomes a noun: the actual WORD "your"), a linking verb (to mean) and an object (the phrase "belonging to you", which in this context, referring to the actual phrase, is again a noun). It's the same kind of sentence as "Schme is mistaken".

The second is also a sentence. It is what's called an "imperative"; the subject is the "understood 'you'". The verb is "to bow", and the object of "to bow" is "me". It is the same as saying "You bow to me".

Indeed, your phrase "Boy to me!" is a fragment, unless you merely forgot your punctuation. "Boy, to me!" would indicatet that you, perhaps a knight on the battlefield, have broken your lance and are calling me, your squire, to you with a replacement.

I am afraid you are foiled again, Oh pussilanimous parakeet, parroting the paragon of perfection (that is to say, me).
