4. There: a place - notice the word 'here' in there;

Their: possessive, denotes ownership - notice the word 'heir' (as in heir to the throne or heirloom);

They're: contraction for "They are". (ie. They're going to get this right from now on or they will be asked to sit over there and suck on their thumb while they think about it) - notice the word 'they'.

Funny thing is, when reading a thread where two posters have opposing viewpoints, I tend to give greater weight to the one which uses correct grammar, spelling, has no homophone* errors, and is free of Internet shorthand.

Grammer shall in the future be spelled grammar.

Kidding aside, I could probably post a hundred common problems.

Too : besides, also (sell the house and furniture too)
to an excessive degree : excessively (too large a house for us) to such a degree as to be regrettable (this time he has gone too far) very (didn't seem too interested)
so (“I didn't do it.” “You did too.”)

That last one should come in handy around here

How about "paragraphs are your friend"? They allow you to break your thoughts up into more understandable form.

I agree....but it's hard not to. Especially when you're in a hurry. And the younger generation now, with their texting. Correct grammar is going to become a lost dialect :unhappy:

"Prolly" is NOT part of the English language.

Logic is adv English, freshman stuff. You might encounter this fallacy frequently, basis
for a lot of superstitions.
"after this, therefore because of this" AKA
"post hoc, ergo propter hoc"
