You - Yes you, and me. Example: "Can you help me?"
Your - Possesive. Example: "Is that your toothbrush?"
You're - Abbreviation of 'you are'. Example: "You're an idiot."
Now, how not to do it.
"Can I borrow you're toothbrush?" - or, in English, "Can I borrow you are toothbrush?"
"Your an idiot!" - or, again in English, "This is your 'an idiot''", or, "an idiot belonging to you."

Maybe we should start our own spelling and grammar police for ATS.
Wrong answer and wrong solution.
It will get out of hand, will cause further division and alienation.
I have a suggestion:
How about simply ignore the grammar English 101 issues?
