From now on, when you find yourself behind the decks and someone shouts "Who do you think you are?" - Tell them straight, your . . .

Should that not be you're

[/pedant]

 

If I put only my first and last name in I'm also DJ Punani *confused*. If I put my middle name in too, I'm The Squealing Piglet !!

No. I can't remember the parts of speech very well, but the primary verb in that construction is to think and not to be.

 

'You're' would be valid in a sentence where , for example, the primary verb is 'to be' - e.g.

 

You're a CUCUMBER *wink*

 

HTH!

Eh 🤔

 

They may ask who I think I am, but ...

 

If the sentence is constructed as written:

 

Tell them straight, your DJ Punani

 

... I would conclude the sentence is not complete and I own a DJ Punani.

 

Perhaps:

 

Tell them straight, your DJ Punani owns an Afghan goat.

 

Therefore, surely I am correct in saying it should be "you're".

 

In which case:

 

Tell them straight, you're DJ Punani.

 

As in "you are", with the letter a substituted for an apostrophe and subsequently abbreviated.

 

However, is this not what you say 🤔

 

Myles Said:

You're a CUCUMBER

 

FH, could you lend a hand and correct my grammar if needs be?

I sense some crossed wires here.

 

I thought that Myles thought that you were seeking to correct the "Who do you think you are?" bit of the quote, when you were of course seeking to correct the later "your".

 

So the judgement of Mr Justice naPP is that you are (you're, if you will *wink*) both right *wink*

[penfold]Eeek! Worms.... 😬

 

I see what you mean 😳 I didn't read to the end of your *wink* first sentence - and thought you were referring to the 'you are' immediately preceeding "- Tell them..."

 

I bough gracefully and except my principle mistake *tongue*
