Thank you.....

... to which the most common reply is "You're Welcome"! But too often we see it written as YOUR welcome.


The misuse of your and you're is a very common one, but particularly conspicuous when used in this oft-emailed two word response. 'You're', is the contraction of you are, as in you are welcome. The 2 words your welcome would rarely be used together, except in reverse order such as I welcome your arrival.

The use of proper grammar makes a big impression - but improper grammar often makes a bigger one.
