You’re using the wrong word

I’m a firm believer that 99% of all writers know the difference between your and you’re and it’s just carelessness that leads them to make a mistake like this one found in Yahoo! Profile help:

your-profile-faq

Just in case you’re scratching your head about the difference, you’re is short for you are. Use it only when you mean you are. At all other times, use your.
