Even if he is not the only one who gets credit, I give it to him because he also gets all the blame !

Your == possessive, meaning belonging to.

You're == contraction for "you are".

Sorry for the pedantry, but this one really annoys me. That, and "too, to" and "alot" (which is not even a word).

My best to you.

And I nearly always make multiple edits on my posts. But at least I know the difference between "your" and "you're". When I make a similar mistake, which I occasionally do, I correct it. These things do not as much anger me as much as they make my teeth hurt.

Happy Happy and Merry Merry to you.

I am the typo queen. Drop letters at the end of words. Add the wrong ending to all sorts of words. I don't dare poke at anyone.... unless of course the typo has created a delicious pun of some sort.

One thing I don't screw up though is "your" and "you're" or "its" and "it's".

Now if I could just keep except and accept straight !!!
