Their, There and They're
I understand that people type quickly on this forum and quite often have a hard time keeping up with their (not there or thery're) thoughts, but come on...this is ridiculous. And this is not a spelling issure, it's agrammar issue.
So for the benefit of those consistent manglers of grammar...
Their - plurar possesive meaning "belonging to them"
There - a location, as in "Look OMCDave is destroying the written word over there"
They're - a contraction of "they" and "are"
Contrary to comon public usage around here, these words are not interchangable.
Thank you,
Conan the Grammarian
