You’re is the contraction form of ‘you are,’ therefore, if you were to change it to you’re you would get this:

‘Please try you are best’ makes no sense whatsoever.

Your is correct. Your is the possessive of you. Whose best should you try to achieve? Your best.

I think it’s in everyone’s interest to be as grammatically correct as possible. Sure, there will be typos and misspellings and all, but I think people should at least make the effort.

> A homophone (/ˈhɒməfoʊn, ˈhoʊmə-/) is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning or in spelling. The two words may be spelled the same, for example rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise"), or spelled differently, as in rain, reign, and rein.
