I was having an SMS conversation with a friend and somehow "Yes you're" came into play in retaliation to a comment.
Example:
Person 1: "You are bad at English".
Person 2: "No I are not.".
Person 1: "Yes you're".
Is that acceptable?
I would assume that it is.
Think of "don't".
You can say:
"No, don't."
or
"I don't."
and it is a contraction like "you're".
So, is it okay?
Answer
No, this is unidiomatic. "You're" always requires a subjective completion. (And to my ears, it sounds completely wrong.)
