More Grammar Fun

Confused about their, they're and there?
It happens. Not to me, of course. But to some people. Although I have problems remembering how to spell "gauge" and "towel." But that's another post.

There vs. Their vs. They're

There = A physical location. Put the ham over there. Also a symbolic point of reference. I agree with you there.

Their = Belonging to "Them." It's their opinion that gourmet burgers are good.

They're = "They Are." They're obviously wrong about gourmet burgers.
