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

I don't even know whether or not I do that on here.
Either way, I don't care. ;)

What about those of us who try to keep grammatical mistakes to a minimum, and keep the spell checker or dictionary at ready use, don't we at least get a "Good work, all?" Some of us can be so anal at times that we sound like morons just to keep from ending our sentences with prepositions.
Now, I demand a little goddamned respect for that. As for punctuation, however, I can't help you.

Well I'm sure the reason "they're" doing it is from pure ignorance. But on that other hand over "there", I'm not so sure. But it's "their" fault.:D
Do I get a cookie now?
