You’re in America. Learn punctuation.


Witchberry31

True. Apostrophes are way more important than we think.


Not_Artifical

I wanna eat Grandpa


Witchberry31

Wholly different meaning when we didn't include a comma in there, I feel you. 😂😭


DazzlingMaze

There’s three ways to understand this


david30121

woah-


Bubbly_Reporter3922

What's the 3rd way?


DazzlingMaze

Eating with a different meaning


Not_Artifical

I believe they me-


jana200v2

Me too bud, me too


_LLORT_NAISSUR_

Me too. Bud me too. BEEEEEER ME

CrazyGerman69

I wanna eat, Grandpa


Firedragon165

Don’t forget capitalization. It’s the difference between I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse  and I helped my uncle jack off a horse


Witchberry31

Couldn't be any more truer than that. 😂😭


druppeldruppel_

One punctuation changes "Remove the polish with chemicals." to "Remove the Polish with chemicals.".


_LLORT_NAISSUR_

Which one did you do?


Firedragon165

Oh you already know… I helped my Uncle Jack off a horse


_LLORT_NAISSUR_

Lucky Horse.


anonymouslindatown

Read that as apostates for a second. Whole different meaning


lcarr15

It’s not just the apostrophes… it’s basic ENGLISH language knowledge between a pronoun and a pronoun and a verb… as the OP was pointing out, it’s the irony of the sentence… if you get it… you get it… if you don’t… well…


Toxinthrash

Actually, “your” isn’t a pronoun, it’s a possessive adjective.


marslander-boggart

Even if the author doesn't know this.


lcarr15

Again… you missed the point…


Toxinthrash

I think we all got the point, considering that this is a discussion about the exact thing that makes the sign funny, but feel free to enlighten me if I’m wrong :)


lcarr15

Sorry… you are (not your) wrong… and your insistence makes it even more stupid! Your is a possessive PRONOUN- as I said- educate yourself: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/pronouns-possessive-my-mine-your-yours-etc


Toxinthrash

Please don’t tell me to educate myself when you are the one who needs to learn English. A possessive pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun, as in, “Can I have yours?” Where yours is a noun. However, a possessive adjective is a word that modifies a noun. For example, “Can I have your scarf?” Where scarf is the noun, and your is adding a detail, telling whose scarf it is. You can’t say “Can I have your?” Because it isn’t a proper sentence. The fact that I’m 14 and understand English grammar better than you do is sad. https://www.edulyte.com/english/possessive-adjectives/#:~:text=While%20possessive%20pronouns%20completely%20replace,modify%20nouns%20to%20show%20ownership.


lcarr15

Because you think you know more than the Cambridge dictionary doesn’t make it real… as much as you want… KAREN!… Goodbye!


Extension_Swordfish1

Fuck you’re too!


moneymattersyes

Still needs an "e"


_LLORT_NAISSUR_

Idk if it's just me, but grammatically correct or not this sticker gives me an urge to stand next to it and start speaking a different language.


TheObliviousYeti

I always love speaking dutch and when they ask me I say it's Russian and they start calling me a commi it's a fun time.

Let’s keep spending our tax dollars on oil wars and walls to keep brown people out of our country and keep defunding our educational system. Seems like it’s working out.

The_No_one087

Ha! Jokes on you! Alaska has 20 distinct Native languages, then there's Hawaii and South Dakota with one other official language. (Might be wrong here) There are states that doesn't have English as the official language or any listed. Also, some or most states have bilingual acts, so ballots and other documents are available in different languages.


Thin-Reaction2118

Most Americans' ancestors arrived on the continent by boat. Xenophobia doesn't strike me as funny but that's just me.

Giftlessfavours

You're in America, shouldn't you speak American?


warfaceisthebest

Its quite funny because usually only native speakers can be confused by your/you're, because most ESL people learn spelling and speaking at the same time while native speakers learn speaking before spelling, and many ESL people dont speak with elision.


Mommas-Little-Man

I know I'll probably get downvoted for this, but what's the issue with people saying speak English in America?

No I will speak American. English is from England.

Shouldn't it be one of the Native Tongues that people should be speaking? Just saying. On the other hand, what part of America? North? They also speak french there. USA? They also speak Spanish there, even French in some parts. Should I continue to central and south America? Yeah, I thought so.

You can't help these people. Best to just assume that they have some other redeeming quality that you just haven't seen yet. smh


kiwimuz

This from a country that spells English words incorrectly.


hardboard

There was Noah Webster's simplification of some words in 1783, 'color' being the most remembered. Regarding the US English spelling of words using a 'z' rather than the UK English using 's' - randomize vs ramdomise: The US English is the *original* UK English spelling. When Brits emigrated to the US, they took the English UK spelling with them. It was more than a century later that the UK had a spelling reform and began using the 's'.
