You know when you're on Facebook or Twitter and a friend routinely messes up "your" and "you're"? You know, like the following:
You're dog is so cute!
or
Your so pretty in this picture!
Michael Strahan used to play for the New York Giants. That statement, in and of itself, implies that he probably wasn't Thomas Pynchon with spelling and grammar basics.
Recently, on Twitter, a follower of Strahan's corrected his problems between your/you're. Being a calm, rational, peaceful man becoming of a career decapitating quarterbacks, Strahan went the only logical route: he directly messaged the person and had some advice, as this screen capture from the website Deadspin shows:
Well, at least it seems he knows your shows possession. Now if he can only remember that "dads" shows possession in this case, too, and requires an apostrophe. Yup, even when referring to dad's hogan.
