Call me Mr Pedantic, or call me Captain Dickhead if you like....
BUT...
"You are" is contracted to "you're" not "your".
I tell you the grammatical standards of this board are just shocking.

I think that the importance of the contractions are shadowed by the size of the exophoric reference or second person narrative on stanza 5.

I'm afraid I agree with him. The difference between there and their is also often forgotten. At least it isn't text speak, though.
Oh well, everybody here is terribly nice anyway.

And "hoopty", as a pronoun, should have the initial letter capitalised. In other words, fuck off back to you're [sic] lower leagues.  |

Hoopty you have got a point here. At times I wonder why great minds like you and me are wasting our time on this forum.
Perhaps one day you and you're family would like to join me on one of my pleasure flights around Blackpool Tower.

I'll give you pedantic - my Dad told me that, when my Granny asked my Grandad to "Put the kettle on to boil" he'd correct her - "No, but I'll put the water in the kettle on the boil".
