No...

a smartphone absolutely is a computer, some of which are more

than what sits on people's desks.

no they aren't unless you're main use of ya putter is
facetime...

'your', and the main use of a putter is on the green.

i can distinguish between your and you're but do like other on this
group commit typos. putter is common language for computer and you
know
it... whooosh! :-ppp

You have to laugh at someone who never capitalizes the first letter of
a word that should be capitalized, but points out writing errors that
others make.

I would spell that nickname for a computer as "puter" or "'puter".

Thanks for the advice but that would depend on how you pronounce it
right? :-))

I always thought a ‘putter’ was what a golfer used to tap a golfball into
a hole on the green.

The context gives the word its meaning...

My kids used to spell like that, but they grew out of it.
