Is there a map of the SA Light Rail, street car, etc system proposal? I can't find it on that site.

I'm not trying to knock San Antonio too bad, it is my home town but they are behind the times

No it's also a spelling error. If the word is misspelled it's a spelling error. If someone meant you're and they spelled it your, that is a misspelling. If someone means their and spells it there that is a misspelling.

Good God...do you not understand the difference? Please stop this foolishness! When someone types your instead of you're, it IS NOT a typo or spelling error. It's a usage error. I teach English, son.

If someone accidentally typed yoir instead of your, that is a spelling error or a typo. Incorrect usage of your/you're is very different. They are two words with completely different meanings that are often misused.

Well once you stop your foolishness the foolishness will stop. It's a spelling error. It looks like we agree to disagree. If you get this mad over such a small thing then you have anger management issues.

It's not up for debate...it's a grammatical error, not a spelling error. Ask a few people who know and then come back, and be gracious enough to admit that your wrong.

This is not an opinion, it's a fact. I'm not mad, but you're arguing something that is a KNOWN FACT. That does get a little irritating, and I would truly stop if I were you. Move on, you're wrong and that's that.

No you are mad. The way you're talking to me it's obvious you're mad you just don't want to admit to it. I'm right and you're wrong.

You are SO wrong, and obviously not able to admit it. Did I tell you that I teach English? I happen to know this for a fact...check this out, from Five Grammatical Errors that Make You Look Dumb | Copyblogger

1. Your vs. You’re

This one drives me insane, and it’s become extremely common among bloggers. All it takes to avoid this error is to take a second and think about what you’re trying to say.
“Your” is a possessive pronoun, as in “your car” or “your blog.” “You’re” is a contraction for “you are,” as in “you’re screwing up your writing by using your when you really mean you are.”

I'm not arguing this fact any further...now move on.

Once you pointed out that this is a grammatical error and not a spelling error I realized it at that time. The reason why I've been arguing with you is I didn't like the way you responded to my post. If you would have responded appropriately (nicely or the way you should have) then I wouldn't have argued with you about it. Instead you flew off the handle and acted like you got real mad about it which makes absolutely no sense at all. Let this be a lesson in the future. If you want to save yourself a lot of trouble treat people nicely and don't respond like you did tonight and things will go a lot smoother. Whether it's in real life or on City-Data when someone acts like an ***hole I will argue with them whether I'm right or not. The moral to the story is if they don't treat me with respect then I'm going to mess with them. It's that simple.

LOL.This is too funny!!I know I do it plenty of times.To be honest I HATE it when I see it too late to change it.It makes me look stupid,because I know better.I guess as I get older my mind is not catching those errors as fast.
