I have been considering making a thread for the difference of There, They're, and Their for a little while now. Maybe this is a good place to put it instead of its own thread, since it is something that I have wanted to rant about for a while.
It is NOT hard to tell the difference between the the words listed above. Just take 1 second before you type to think about what you are trying to say.
Examples.
They're - I really like your new boots. <b>They're</b> really cool.
There - Park City looks like a lot of fun this season. I would love to get a chance to go <b>there</b>
Their - It makes me curious when people do not know <b>their</b> skiing history. Kandide?
I am not saying that everyone needs to be perfect, but this is a very easy concept and will help you sound a little less ignorant when you are trying to get your point across.
So just think, are you talking about a place (there), possesion (their), or are you contracting they are (they're)
Someone please correct me if I have made a mistake in this post.
Thank you
So what your saying is people that can't get there simple, grade school English correct is pretty damn annoying. Their responding to a million different threads oblivious to they're ridiculous sounding sentence structure.
sry man, couldn't resist. It annoys the shit out of me too. And to the OP... you're right, the worst is when you have a small mountain to begin with and you finally sack up and tear down the in-run only to have a super determined snowplower zigzag in front of you. Guess what??? now you get to go back up the chair cause your favorite hit has just been compromised.
