As big of a fan as I am of mocking Aerozord - and I am, trust me - he actually used the proper form of "your" here.

Also, "you're" and "you are" are the same thing.

I mean if you're gonna grammar nazi, then grammar nazi correctly.

no I think its you're, as in you are. Your is possessive.

edit for actual contribution to the discussion: point is your average three year old doesn't know alot of his personal information. They simply aren't taught it. How often is a three year old refered to by their full name? Even if they knew it probably cant spell it. Their number? They dont even use the phone but you expect them to be taught 10 digit numbers? Young children only recently learned to talk and are working on the base knowledge to read, write, count, ect. To most parents personal information isn't a priority. You can argue that we should be teaching kids this, but fact is most dont and you cant expect them to

That's like a metajoke right there.

Okay, kids aren't stupid, the just totally lack basic knowledge about pretty much everything and haven't had enough experience to learn that strangers are bad. So I'll revise my statement to "three year old kids don't know anything, similar to dogs, though given enough time and years they do eventually become more knowledgeable than dogs." They are pretty self-absorbed, though, so expecting them to think "Hey my mother might freak out if I disappear" shouldn't be expected of them. Hell, when I was three I remember hiding under my bed one time just to make my mother freak out when she couldn't find me. I was a little asshole!

actually the rule is that you write You're as a contraction or a combination, of the words you and are and you write your as the possessive form of you, referring to something that a person has, something that belongs to the person in question or, the person you are talking to.

...so he has it in the correct fashion.

also Why the fuck does every good action in society have to be ignored, punished or abused. I have gotten into trouble more times Helping other people then by my own actions. I understand the "if you do something right some people will never know you did anything at all." thing but for fucks sake Why does the noticement have to be someone wanting something from you or to hunt you down and punish you.

This is why we can't have nice things, though the joke was pretty much dead by then.
