Am I the only one that thinks a 21 yr old kid shouldn't have any input on roster decisions?
No, you're not.
Most definitely, you are not alone.

I'm probably mistaken but didn't LeBron have input over roster decisions with the Cavs when he was 21?

Frankly, this is stuff you should learn in elementary school, so I don’t think I buy the “too much pressure to focus on athletics” excuse.
I think this is simply an auto correct issue
Youre generally auto corrects to You're, sooooo.......
Well I have Swype and you're and your are essentially the same motion...my phone picks the wrong one all the time...I guess if he has an iPhone he has no excuse

I thought about mentioning it but decided not to, to avoid reinforcing my "pessimist" reputation around here :)

Pessimism and common sense are 2 vastly different things.

Maybe he didn't proof read his tweet? This isn't some masters thesis, seems a bit ridiculous to complain about a simple grammar error when it's clearly obvious to everyone what he meant

It’s kind of a pet peeve of mine, and I’m evidently not alone.

When I was growing up, my reading material was books, magazines, and newspapers. They had professional editors and used correct spelling and grammar. If I saw a word misspelled, or a bad grammatical construction, it looked wrong, because it wasn’t what I was used to seeing.

Nowadays, reading material consists largely of text messages and social media. I imagine it’s a lot harder to learn to avoid orthographical and grammatical errors when they look so normal.

If you’re an NBA player, you probably have a lot of kids following you on Twitter. Why not take the extra few seconds to set a good example?

I agree with this. Is it silly I get irked by this? Probably. Will it change? Nope.

I have seen my phone / iPad actively "correct" the right spelling to the wrong one. In particular it is awful about "its" vs "it's". I'll write a sentence like,

Its primary appeal was its price.

And it'll "correct" it to:

It's primary appeal was it's price.

(wrong in both cases!)

I guess that's fair...it's never bothered me, but maybe I grew up too much in the texting era...I'll try not to have bad grammar on here so you guys don't discredit my posts ;)

No, the Suns have not signed any gnus.

I’ll forgive your spelling error because gnu is tricky, with a silent g.

Speaking of animals and the Suns (sort of), Koko (the gorilla) passed away a few weeks ago. :cry:
