CongraTulations/ CongraDulations

IRREGARDLESS. I cannot stand when people use it. It's not a word. REGARDLESS is a word, IRREGARDLESS is not.

Well, it IS in the dictionary. :P

The only thing that REALLY bothers me is:
it's and its
their, there, and they're
and you're and your

Now I know I get its and it's mixed up sometimes, but I NEVER get your and you're mixed up, and they are soo easy to get straight. If you undo the contraction and will be saying "you are..." then it is "you're". If you are talking about posession, it is just "your". Ta dah!

It's and its STILL throws me off sometimes... it's almost backwards from "normal" rules. Normally you use 's for posession, but not for it's! It's backwards!

"Look at its leg!"
"It's going to close."

Or watch me get those mixed up... that's really the only thing that still continues to confuse me!!

Jessika....the rule for it's/its......same as you're.....it's is short for "it is" and inanimate objects cannot own things so...its....there is NO its'....
