Of course English being English....they are always a TON of exceptions (eg. science)!

What I find really aggravating about the "your" when they mean "you're" is that you see it so often that you can easily start doing it too and have to watch out for it...every time I catch myself doing it (something I NEVER used to) I get aggravated all over again!
