Just stop.
It's 'You was deliberate..' or 'You were deliberate'.
If your gonna correct someone at least do it right.
Context is your friend. See, in this example the word "YOU'RE" isn't being used as the contraction of "YOU ARE", he's refering to some innane bull
Shit he had posted previously. Thus "YOU'RE" is in fact the subject of his poorly formed sentence, and as I'm sure someone with your obvious stranglehold on the english language knows, "was" is the correct verb tense of "to be" when applying to this singular subject. Get it? What he wrote somehow makes more sense if we make "YOU'RE" plural, as if he had used the incorrect version of the word multiple times in his post to purposely demonstrate the picky criticisms. He didn't, though, and if one went down that road they would need to bastardize YOU'RE to somehow pluralize it.
Such as: The "YOU'REs" were deliberate blah blah blah....
Okay? So when you want to correct me correcting someone else, do it right, do it with your head in an oven.
