Your vs you're

What do you guys think?
You mean:
Your - Possessive
You’re - Abbreviation for "you are"
Seems straightforward to me.
“effect” vs. “affect” is my greatest grammatical challenge.

Well played, ML, well played.
Though, it is worth noting that you spelled ‘ass’ wrong.
This thing kills me every time
“effect” vs. “affect” is my greatest grammatical challenge.
effect refers to the cause of a change ("the governor effected a change in policy") affect refers to the consequences of that change ("the new policy really affected our family").You mean:

You’re - Abbreviation for “you are”

I THINK you didn't go to to high school if you don't know the answer to this.What do you guys think?
How about
ridiculous vs. rediculous (I see this online all the time) Ridiculous - causing or worthy of ridicule or derision; absurd; preposterous; laughable: a ridiculous plan. Rediculous - you're a moron, learn to spell rIdiculous!How about the difference between “Johnny and me” and “Johnny and I”.
Most people say "and I", like "Do you want to go to the store with Johnny and I". But that's wrong.It bugs me when people use your instead of you’re and the other way around. Actually, there are a lot of things to be bugged about on the internet if you’re a spelling/grammar nazi.
It really bugs me that people post links to crap that has nothing to do with the financial industry as their taglines.

I believe this should become an official word.
I use it alot in speaking, so why not in writing. When used, it does not mean “A Lot” - meaning a group or a set; it has its own meaning - many, several, often, etc.
how does one lobby for this?

That sounds like alot of work.

You gotta really want it man!
[/quote] I actually think it could be a good thing. If your goal was to get 100,000 people to sign a petition to add a word to the dictionary...why not go to 100,000 random people in your area and tell them what you are doing, then at the end, say, "Oh by the way, I'm getting 5% tax free yields for my clients, what do you think of that?" If after asking 100,000 people, you didn't come away with millions of net new assets, I'd be shocked.
Go for it.
