Depends on one's accent.

Hmm... I usually write "your" because I'm a pedant. But I pronounce it more "yer," and filled with love.

I've always seen it "yer", because the last thing it needs is polite grammar.

Either one are acceptable in my book. I think Fuck Yer Day is, ironically, more accurate to the original sentiment.

Another vote for "YER". :)

It's (arguably) funnier, the pronunciation is most accurate, and because the reading brain doesn't have to stop the fraction of the second it takes to determine whether it's the word "Your" or "You're".

Let's see... Is it "Fuck I"? no it's "Fuck me". So, is it "Fuck thou!" or maybe it's the one that ryhms with "me", ending at "Fuck thee!"

I like that its yer not your, it seems to help denote that it's a saying with a bit of history.

Of course in my accent it would be "fuck ya day mate"
