I don't like to complain but one thing really grates on my nerves when I read comments here.

Can people please, please understand that

your is a possessive pronoun
you're is a contraction of you are

There are many, many other semi literate misuses of words here but this is the one that really bothers me.

Are you saying that my getting upset or that I'm gettig upset is about nothing?

Either way, it is a fine example that the typical college graduate is not capable of writing a sentence without incorrectly spelling at least one or two words.

I was teasing. 'Saginaw, Michigan' was the title of one of Lefty Frizzell's biggest hits. :mrgreen:

The songs on AuntiE's thread/post are great! :thumbup:

No, I am joking with you: "Your (not you're) getting upset about nothing." Funny, no?
