It's my belief that a main reason these two words (you're and your) are mixed up in writing is because of a mistaken pronunciation when speaking. Many people (even singers, if you listen closely you'll hear it) pronounce both words like their "3rd twin" - yore. That's correct for your but not for you're, which is pronounced more like (the correct pronunciation of) sure or cure. A good online dictionary with audio will help sort it out.
Thoughts on this, or other pronunciation, spelling errors?
