Also, the colon between the "the" and "'Grammar game"' was unnecessary.

Wait, what? I didn't realize the game itself was participating.

Apostrophes DO NOT mean, "Oh, look out, here comes an 'S'!" Apostrophes are used ONLY when it is used in a contraction with the word "is" or when it is possessive. There should not he an apostrophes in the above post. Also, you MUST have a space after a comma. Also, there should be a comma after "Quick".

It's "you're" as in "you are", "your" is a possessive word. You also forgot a space after that second comma.

Sorry, I forgot that.
Thanks to you're kindness I remembered that it was "you're" instead of "your" which is wrong in grammar.

I sometimes use apostrophes in that case because I know Python (to a certain point), and sometimes you have to use apostrophes instead of quotation marks.
greace wrote:Wait, isn't it "you're"?

No. The word "you're" means "you are", while the word "your" is possessive.
Ex. 1: "I like your fur, Booyo." That would be possessive, because it is indeed his fur.
Ex. 2: "I think you're the furriest wolf around." The word "you're" means "you are", so you are saying "I think you are the furriest wolf around."

So you mean you like his fur?
Anyways I get what you mean now.
"you're" is "you are".
But possessive, is it like saying something about somebody?
And if so then I want to know which words should be before "your"(like e.t.c).

Usually a verb will come before "your" and the word after "your" is always a noun.

Examples:
"I like your avatar."
"It's been a pleasure to make your aquaintance."
"You have your way."
"We enjoy your company."

Thanks for your example.
Now, I want to say that this thread seems to be the only serious topic in the off-topic thread.
