- |You're in this context is a contraction and has an apostrophe. Since that
- |is probably too much for you to understand, I will elucidate. It's the
- |little key just to the right of the semi-colon (;) on most machines, although
- |if you are writing on a really bad computer, it may be just over the seven.
- |In that case you have to press the "shift" key, which is usually near the
- |bottom on both sides. It may say shift or there may be an arrow pointing up.
- |If you have to use the shift key, you may need to hands, so you'll have to
- |take out the one that has been "playing with change" in your trouser pocket.

- You just love those lame flames, don'cha.
-
- First its vocab flames, then grammar flames, now _apostrophe_ flames. Can you
- really think of nothing better to flame me about than the fact that I decided
- to omit a single apostrophe?
-
- Youre really desperate, arent you?

- |You really are into this one line flame thing. Perhaps you could use some
- |assistance. The next lesson you need is "how to put two sentences together".
-
- I am not 'really into' single line flames. I would point out, though, that
- often even a single word is more effective than an apostrophe flame or similar.
- Take note and learn well.
