I CARE!!! You’re, they’re, too…. It’s hard to be us sometimes, isn’t it? Sooo much easier if we could just let it slip. Ever feel like correcting signs in grocery stories, on store fronts, in church bulletins?
And to add a bit of confusion to the grammar discussion: “So obviously your sleeping around a bit…” could be the opening phrase to a grammatically correct sentence such as, " So obviously your sleeping around a bit…gives you a lot of experience in this area." Got it? In this case, the word “sleeping” is a gerund, i.e., a verb that functions as a noun. That’s why it would be wrong to say, “you sleeping around….” As a verb masquerading as a noun, “sleeping” needs the adjective “your,” not the pronoun “you.”

Also, “alot” should be “a lot.”
