There their and they're

Unread post by Nyeleni »

Ok I had it. Too many times I read those words above used wrongly.

Last time I read their where a there should have been.


There: in, at, or to that place or position.

For instance: I want to go there. It is there that I found a tavern.


Their: belonging to or associated with the people or things previously mentioned or easily identified.

For instance: The bandits were killed. Their weapons were looted.


They're: They are.

For instance: They're happy.

It should be noted that some (like me) are posting from a phone more often than not. Auto-correct is a pain in the arse and if I edit every post where I find an error I would do little else. My rule is if it gets the point across, it's good enough.

However, people who say or type irregardless are evil incarnate... The word is regardless!!!

Autocorrect is evil. Fair enough.

My characters all speak with a slurr, accent and/or dialect. They all speak properly! I assure you. Dispite what you may think you read they're saying!

I may also type with an accent on the forum!

I had to actually read this five times before I could divine the meaning.
