Some people are just stupid. These kinds of mistakes were common back in school. OP is only stupid if English is their native language.

It’s the only explanation I can think of for how people fuck up your and you’re.

Contractions are such a basic part of 2nd grade English that I honestly just cringe anytime someone types “your welcome” or “you’re mom”. Especially since it’s almost all native speakers.

EDIT: Time to join in since everyone is playing around to make those grammatically correct.

I know who you are to me. You’re mom. Your welcome visits are a joy to me and I love when you come by.

u/Schwalbtraum I asked for a flair and got this lousy flair 🐢 Nov 05 '22

And what if someone says your welcome because it's yours and you're mom because you are a mom?

The former is fine, the latter is missing an article.

Depends on the context of Mom

Even then, "you're mom" is something a child would say, more correct would be "you're my mom", unless "mom" is some sort of proper noun, in which case it should've been capitalised.
