You can leave. 

I literally would punch you all in the face if I could. 

It’s one thing to prefer the “correct” usage, but damnit stop correcting it every single time and blowing it out of proportion and demeaning people because god forbid they were doing something like multi tasking and used the wrong one. You have no right to point that out to make yourself feel superior for catching it. It’s not that big of a deal. 

Some people just try to be correct with it and that’s whatever, I don’t care, but when you get an attitude and insult someone’s intelligence because at the moment- that wasn’t the most important thing, or they slipped, you look like a jerk.

Stop it, and shut up. There’s almost always context and you know damn well if they mean you are or your. Okay? It’s not the end of the world.

To all the grammar-fixated out there: it is possible to recover! I, too, once allowed myself to wallow in undeserved self-satisfaction when I saw that there were people who had less-completely memorized the often-arbitrary rules of written English than I. However, healing is possible with one very simple step: stop being a petty asshole.

^^

To anyone who has this problem, please, take a class on the history of the English language. IT WILL CHANGE YOU’RE LIFE.
