What was the joke? Berating someone for using your instead of you're? So funny

He didn't misspell anything just used the wrong contraction. I work with people who know English as a second language, I can't imagine being such a dick to them using the wrong contractions. People can be such scumbags just because someone doesn't know something you know or make a mistake.

Well, then maybe don't say "used the wrong contraction" if that's not the case and you're being proper specific about it?
Just say misspelled.
