Hi, let's try to put aside the rather obnoxious opening post and use this thread to correct other people's mistakes. Maybe we'll all learn a thing or two.

For example:

This is something I see a lot so let's try and clear up a few things;

their - that which belongs to them. Examples: their accomplishments; their home town.

there - At or in that place. Examples: Sit over there. Wouldn't go there again...

they're - Contraction of "they are". Examples: They're so big. They're coming.

Also:

your - of, belonging to, or associated with you. Examples: Your book. Your bad taste in music.

you're - Contraction of "you are". Examples: You're a twat. You're not allowed to misspell this again.

K, thank you, that is all, you may go now...
