Grammar Giggle – Your’re Not The Right Contraction

This ad popped up on my Facebook feed several months ago. I might have actually purchased the shirt except for the egregious error in the contraction “Your’re.” In a contraction, the apostrophe replaces missing letter(s) in a word. The way it is written, the “formal” term would be “Your are,” which is obviously incorrect. I should probably be happy at the attempt to make “You are” a contraction. Be careful with your contractions!
