Bad grammar
I can understand a few misspellings every now and then, but there's absolutely no reason to confuse your and you're.

And "loose" and "lose"
Seriously, how hard is it to remember a couple of little words?

I found an adorable sign today.
They means to say "you're" but it came out as "you'r"
Almost there, but not quite.

My local pub...
Has this woman from the Czech Republic working there.
She's always asking me about correct use of English grammar and the funniest thing is, she corrects people.
English - a beautiful language...why don't more people use it?

Their, there and they're. It makes me so mad. I have a degree in English and I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi.

Oh fuck yes
It's not difficult. No-one* is asking people to get a degree in English. All we want is for people to learn some very, very basic points about the language which should have been learned in primary school.
If I see anyone confuse there/their/they're, your/you're, then I don't usually bother reading the rest of what they've typed, because I will know that they're not very intelligent.
* And another thing that bugs the hell out of me is "noone". It has a bloody hyphen in it. Without the hyphen I read it to sound like 12:00 midday.
