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,

no shit, ...................

Either those who are consistent, or you could have used the word "consistently ".


Am I being a smart ass? Yes. I agree your complaint and am being an ass really for no reason other than that I am bored and waiting on hold for customer service.

thanks, corrected it.

I don't even know whether or not I do that on here.

Either way, I don't care. ;)

There, there.

We're assuming the various spelling mistakes that still remain unedited in the first post are deliberate ironies?

:confused:

They're's an idea.

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?
