A gaffe is FAIR GAME. Or I can’t spell potato.
The singular spelling variants “potato” vs. “potatoe” co-existed into the 19th century. In the 20th century “potato” came to be considered the correct singular, and “potatoe” considered a misspelling. The plural remains “potatoes’”.

Your just a kid! is all ;-)

Apparently you meant YOU’RE just a kid, your is possessive, it is NOT a spelling variant of you’re.
