'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.

dude, you crack me up. Sometimes it seems like half my job is editing letters or documents written by people with letters behind their names, and many times, re-writing them! Love ya - and we DO need to do coffee soon...maybe after session. :)
I feel you on this one. :)
My kids also mix up two, to, and too. They also spell does "dose." :(
