    Every comment is a statement (even if expressed as a question), although the converse is not true. That is, the former is a subset of the latter.

    your is supposed to be you're only when it's a contraction of you are. Your is belonging to you, different meaning same sounds homophone or homonym, I got in trouble for pointing one out immediately after joining here. A bloke was talking about a salt cellar and asked about a salt seller, so I said he could sell it in hesian bags. and got roundly booed

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
