Grammar
you OR your? which is correct?
Hi all,
I've seen the following sentence on the net. Then I was thinking.. whether the usage of "you" is correct or not? If I were to write that sentence, I'd have written "your" .
Since you are based in the United States, if you volume has been over $1,000 a month , this is what i would suggest. ( this is what I saw on the Net)
Since you are based in the United States, if your volume has been over $1,000 a month , this is what i would suggest.
** you volume or "your" volume ?
Thanks.

Hi, Grammar clearly requires 'your', although 'your volume' is not totally clear in meaning without a bit more context. Did they really write a lower-case i? That makes me sad.

Just a note: My most frequent typo is to write "you" for "your." I do it very, very often, and although I try to proofread for it, my eye "knows" what it's supposed to see, so sometimes I gloss right over it.

Thank you Clive and Grammar Geek. I guess it's probably typo.. But, honestly, I've really seen a lot of such mistakes.

Hello, Starget, and welcome to the forums! 
'i' is lower case (not in capital letters), and 'I' is not.

Hi,
Instead of a lower-case i, you could call it a small i.
Instead of an upper-case I, you could call it a big I.
