OK folks, i have seen enough. I am gonna break down when to use there, their, or they're, cause no one here seems to know how.

"There" shows place. Like "I want to go over there" or "There is nikobe sniffing Kobe's jock"

"Their" shows possession. As in "I am sick of their trash talking" or "I hate their coach"

"They're" is a contraction and is short for "they are". "They're the best team in the NBA," for example

Any questions??

I'd challenge you to a battle of wits...... but you appear unarmed

"Stop talking, negotiating,
Your feeble attempts at world peace
Give me a %#@*ing break
Need worldwide genocide, planetary suicide
And when the whole damn world is dead
there's your %#@*ing peace"

    Some of these morons need English lessons that go WAY behond simple 'there' misuse...like for instance, you shouldn't use Z to make something plural or possessive. Nor should you use '4' or '2' in place of actual words.

    EX: Im going 2 the hawks game 2 night, gonna try and get G-rob's armbandz b4 security dragz my wack azz out.

    I've seen that one a lot

    maybe CU can kick in a spellcheck/Thesaurius program to go with the program to edit profane words
