If getting your point across requires you to look ignorant in the process, by all means continue.
Actually Grammar is all encompassing. And yes, contration is a grammatical term so it is grammar. His mistake is actually not a contraction error. He used the wrong word in the wrong contexted. It wouldn't be a contraction problem unless it was combined with a spelling error such as "you'are" or "you'r". This would be a defined moment with in grammar contraction that would be a case for the use of your arguement.
