Hey there! Don’t want to nitpick, but it is spelled „you‘re“ in your case. „Your“ is used when you‘re talking about possessive attribution. „Your car“ vs „you‘re (you are) driving a car“.

    As long as we're nitpicking, in English, we only use the upper quotation marks, e.g. "you're".

    That’s good to know, thank you! I‘ll try to keep it in mind from now on.

    Wait, you actually didn't know? No judgement, I'm just surprised.

    The other thing you might want to know is that if you want to get fancy and use different opening and closing quotation marks, they curve the opposite way to what you're used to, “like this.”

    I did at some point, but I keep mixing it up with my native language rule for quotations. I study both german and english language and should actually know better, lol. The rules of written language are fascinating to me, so I appreciate any corrections!
