Re: There, Their, They're
Microsoft Word's spellcheck actually taught me the difference between "it's" and "its" a while back.

So what maybe somepeople are slower then others just leave them alone.. I mean if you get what they are talking about who cares!!
Let's try a sentence using all of the wrong words.
There ball was thrown over their and there too busy to care.
Does that make sense to you? It doesn't for me because I see words and associate them with a certain meaning. Like when I read the word there, I associate that with a place, not people.
I care, because I don't get what they're talking about. Not knowing the difference is really sad, as I've said they teach you this point every year in school.

Well shoot!, that is not a nice sentence. If someone typed sentences out like that all the time I would probably die.

I would have an anurism. Either that or a mental break down.

Yeah, they teach it in college english classes too. You're expected to know it, but they always refresh the basics.

Surprisingly, thats one of the things that I don't do wrong.
