'there' 'they're' & 'their'

i am an English teacher.

i work at a school.

and we have a principal who repeatedly misuses 'there' in professional emails.

i can't send him an email about it, because it would come across in a very rude way. so i am going to get it out here.

they're - a contraction for 'they are.' ex. They are learning English.

their - possessive form for they. ex. Their principal needs to learn grammar.

there - location. ex. The class is over there.

thank you.

haiti tshirts


The moment you've all been waiting for...the Haiti T-shirt sale is HERE!

So here's the deal. We're raising money for the trip we just took, and other mission projects at the Austin Stone Community Church. If you want one and live in Austin, please try to see me about it in person, as I need the money before I can take your order. If you're not in Austin, you can mail me a check. This is only because I have to front the money before I can order - i.e. I buy the shirts and then you buy it from me. Info about the shirts and a picture are below.
  • Shirts are navy and printed on Anvil shirts and super soft.
  • can do XX and XXX but they are $2 extra
  • smallest we can do is Youth Med
  • get your orders to me by April 10th, hopefully shirts will be here in 3-4 weeks .... So we’re looking at 4-6 weeks before shirts are here
  • Cost is $20 for each shirt and $5 for shipping if they’re out of town.
  • $ is going towards trip we just took and for other missions projects at ASCC.
Need more info? Just let me know! And please sent this on to anyone else who might want a tshirt!

THANKS!
