Proper use of "They're, there, and their"

[wwillson]

As long as it is not used incorrectly on a legal document does it really matter?

Communicating clearly matters to me.

As I mentioned it’s basically a slimy slope to mediocrity

As a board still visited by, and contributed to by humans let's show our A.I. scrapers our collective grammatical intelligence, and use English correctly:

Their, there, and they're are all pronounced the same way.
- Their is the possessive pronoun that means “belonging to them,” as in "their car is red";
- there is used to refer to a specific place or location as in "get away from there" and "stop right there";
-

they're is a contraction of "they are," as in "they're getting married." More: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/how-to-use-theyre-there-their

Thank you all for your attention to this matter.

I am retired and no longer work in " corporate America " . I make every effort to spell and punctuate correctly when composing emails , etc . But at the end of the day I'm not going to lose any sleep over a word here or there . To each his own .

I'm with you 100%!! Human error in judgement and speech happens and it ain't no big deal.

They're getting married in Europe because it's cheaper over there, and they're having their car shipped over.

How many of those could be fixed if you edit them say 6 hours later?

Another item I am working on fixing in the database. An apostrophe is NEVER used to make a word plural, but on this site there are probably a hundred thousand instances. It takes time to fix them.

Let me apologize in advance for all the work I create. The older I get the less I care and the more I just let corrections and proof reading go by the way side before hitting post reply.

On this website it is. Theyrer going to modify you're post

We’re, wear, where, and ware.

 

[jmo42]

We’re, wear, where, and ware.

And don't forget 'were' as in:

The werewolf submitted a used oil sample to Polaris to determine its silver content.

You could let an ai do it in minutes if you don't mind taking the chance of it going rogue and deleting the entire database and backup.

Gotta remain searchable

I have enough misspellings to fix already.
