Help answer this question below.

Will English have to be modified to make "your" and "you're" into one word because so many of today's ill-educated can't distinguish which to use and try to make them interchangeable?

    Absolutely not! I think that if English was modified, we would be surrendering to spelling ignorance. It's a shame that so many people don't know the difference between the two words. And don't get me started on 'lose' vs. 'loose'!
