It's time we get this straightened up. It urks the crap out of me when people don't know the difference between their, there, they're, to, too, its and it's.

Their - reference to someone's property - Where is their 67 Mustang?
There - reference to general location - The 67 Mustang is over there.
They're - abbreviation for they are - They're getting the 67 Mustang today.

They're on their way to get the 67 Mustang over there.

To - usually connects subject to predicate - They are going to pick up the 67 Mustang.
Too - used in agreeance with, additional, also - He is going with them, too.

He is going to get the mustang, too. He too will be there to get it.

Its - possessive, ownership (no apostrophe, unlike other possessive words) - The 67 Mustang is on its way.
It's - it is - It's time to go get the 67 Mustang.

End of lesson.

 

I is be going over they're to be seein my mushtang. Trust me...it irks the hell outta me too.

 

 

Yeah, this isn't English class and you are not going to educate proper grammar on this site. I totally agree with you, but again, this is not the place to educate about proper grammar. Some of the worst cases actually post some of the best information. You just have to sift through all the bad grammar to understand what they are saying.

 

Glen, weren't you a teacher or something at one time?

 

ya i fell into the bad grammer phase due to constent text messaging and forums. i've been trying to clean it up but hard to get out of old habits such as: u, ne way, rolf, ftw...and all that jazz. the o/t section rots your brain[8D]

 

If I received a message, memo or letter from a subordinate written in the manner that some of these post are composed, there would bemanditory schooling to make English the primary language for that employee - or the door. In a post about a week or two ago, there was someone from New Caladonia that apologized for the poor English used in their posts saying the written word was easier than the spoken. All the messages were easily understood. To that party, thank you. But I guess it's a reflection of today -

See, those are different because they're acronyms. They're perfectly fine to use.


These on the other hand, are annoying and make you look like a 12 year old girl that talks on AIM too much.
