Please don't be offended, I am only pointing this out because you are obvious very intelligent and expert in the field.

>If your somewhere

*you're

I only point it out because I know some people discount comments that have grammar and spelling errors.

Thanks for the super informative posts!

Edit: I guess I offended, based on the downvotes. I only pointed it out since it was used incorrectly in the posts. I was trying to be helpful, apologies if I was being a dick.



As a non-native speaker, I appreciate if somebody corrects me like this, even if they hurt a little bit. I think you wrote it in a very nice manner.


I apologise if I hurt you feelings in any way. I meant it only as constructive feedback to someone who might not be aware.

Thanks again for your posts.


I wasn't the original poster you corrected. I wanted to express that I would prefer to be corrected the way you did it.


Oops! Sorry about the confusion.


I didn't downvote you, but you might have gotten downvotes because the beginning of your post built up anticipation by making it sound like you had some amazing point/rebuttal to drop, and then seeing only an `s/your/you're` was a huge disappointment ;-)
