    Default Your or You're

    1. I stand by my last statement for your reply as well.
    or
    2. I stand by my last statement for you're reply as well.


    Isn't 1. the correct sentence?

    Replace "you're" with "you are" and see if it makes any sense.

    Your is correct, but the sentence isn't very clear to me.

    NOT A TEACHER


    May I most respectfully suggest that you carefully study your/your're and its/it's. I have noticed that

    many people are confused about the difference. If you can truly understand the difference, it will greatly

    help you write better. As a student, employee, or employer, you do not want to make a mistake with

    those little words, for people will tend to lose respect for you.
