"Theiyr're" <- That THAT, #grammar police! ð
Although I must admit, I've never convinced Their, There, and They're. I know it's helluva common, but I just don't see it. I guess because I've never thought they were pronounced the same. "There" and "Their", yes. But not "They're". That one sounds completely different from the other to, in my opinion. #English #funnies
