Default ' Pet Peeve

Posted By: runscott

(provided I knew there was no apostrophe in the word they were saying, which would be improbable)

...my response would be: "Thanks! I didn't notice it was getting away!" John, Julie picked up on that right away, which I would have expected. Her problem isn't with grammar (which she obviously understands better than any of us), but rather with typing.

"Your Safe!" is far closer to "You're Safe!" than to "You're a Safe!" - I really have no idea how you made that leap. The word 'your' is possessive no matter how you cut it.
