Here, it's "your." Here's "your" weather report, etc. Ain't mine. I is just

The use of Your is one of my pet peeves also.
Seems everything has now become 'your'. When 'your' trying to get a bill
passed in congress, or when 'your' going into a turn at Charlotte at
190, or when 'your' doing or experiencing anything ... I could go on for
ever. Very rarely is 'your' used in a proper context.
It as if the speaker is trying to distance themselves from their actions
or trying to include the passive observer.
