Today, I was teaching a class when a student pointed out that I'd used the wrong "your/you're" while writing on the board. FML

I've found that once English learners become fluent, they speak and write the language much better than people who learned it as their first language.

How the hell do American's make a grammar mistake like that? I learned the rules about your and you're and their, they're, and there back in fourth grade. It's one thing if you're trying to text on a cellphone to ignore the grammar rules, but on a board while teaching kids? Sick.
