Repent, or else...

Thank you. I've been wondering for years how it is spelled.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The rampant use of the word "your" in place of the word "you're" has got to stop.

That I can be melamed zechus that it's shorter and easier to type, especially since typing the apostrophe can need 2 fingers (horror of horrors!). What I can't understand is the opposite, e.g. "I went to you're house". :o ::)

Just noticed this post. You may want to add it.

#DownWithAutocorrect

I think it's more of just an accumulation of all the people doing it. How many people do you think we're smart enough to know you can cancel and ask for a refund but stupid enough to do it already?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Eh, I can't believe I let that one slide, I'm usually so careful. Yea auto correct (is that one word?) is the bane of my life. (But it's so helpful sometime Idk what to do )

Im flying to China My flight is flying from JFK TO Beijing China my destination to where I have to fly is Guangzhou Baiyun China My flight is going from JFK TO Beijing China with a stop over in  Guangzhou Baiyun China wich is my real destination of where I have to go can i get off at my stop over and not take my connecting flight and same goes with coming back the flight starts at Beijing China makes a stop over of where I got off originally and catch the connecting flight back to JFK and the reason why I'm asking because my flight comes out cheaper this way because someone told me I will only be able to get my boarding passes from when it leaves the original start point and cant print it from my stop over point.
