Ok. This is very simple.

YOUR is a possessive pronoun. You use it as a sign of ownership, as in, "Your beef is getting cold," or "she took your love, she took it down."

YOU'RE is short for "you are", as in, "You're a poser, Avril Lavigne," or "You're Harry Potter's used kleenex."

ITS is a possessive pronoun, as in, "The tree grew, its leaves stretching skyward," or "We're its only hope."

IT'S is short for "It is," as in "I know, it's only rock and roll, but I like it," or "It's always the quiet ones."

I understand that it's cool to be lazy with one's grammar, but sheesh, this is simple stuff. Argh.

Heeheh. Maybe I should start touring America doing self-help seminars. "How to Change Your Life with Grammar in One Easy Step".

off-topic, yet strays within context...

Your 'Muppets' Dark Secret' test was unusually fufiling. Thanks for creating it? Take care.

Thank you so much for the feedback! Unusually fullfilling-- that's a lovely compliment. You're welcome!
