Is using "your" instead of "you're" and vice versa the new trend? Like bitch and biatch...because 90 % of cbers do that A LOT.

I find myself using your ( EX. Your the best!!) instead of you're by accident. Whenever I catch myself I edit. But is it a trend? I suppose people are too lazy to type it correctly.

i don't think so. there is a big difference in my opinion
i got so used to typing "you're" i accidently do it when i'm suppose to type "your"

Using "biatch" instead of "bitch" is different because they both mean the same thing. I would consider that as trend. On the other note "your" and "you're" don't mean the same thing. If one of them is typed in the wrong context I would say that's bad grammar.

I had it when they are all "omg your _____."
and i'm like "what about my ______?"

Your pretty. ---> my pretty... doesn't make sense.
You're pretty. ---> I am pretty... thank you.

your=possession. your dog. your hat. your camera.

you're=you are. you're ugly. you're going to the dance.

people need to learn. its really not that hard to tell the difference.

No. That's never a trend. People just type "your" on accident.

exactly.
it can get frustrating sometimes, because sometimes its hard to tell what someone means but other times its quite easy.
