"Your" is possessive. So by saying "Your human", it seems like you're talking about "my human" (since "my" is the possessive form of "me").

Of course I knew that you meant "you are" shortened to "you're", but that's why it was a joke, lol

Oh, I think that will change soon. Few people bother with opening the symbols screen when typing just to say you're instead of your. It's too inconvenient if autocorrect won't do it automatically and language and spelling change based on common usage so I imagine you're will be another old English word in a few decades. I try to speed the change along as much as I can.

I doubt it. We have enough professional writing that will be unlikely to change that way.

They used to say we'd be replacing them both with "ur", but that didn't happen.

Ur died because smartphones made texting easier.

Unless something replaces smart phones then things will change over time.
