Since Sanders posted this one in the Senior Member section I guess I'll put it here since most new member can't see it.
Take a brief segment of your lives guys and educate yourself. Stop looking like grammar trolls on the internet.
Ok here's how it goes for you guys.
There are three forms of the word there. They are homonyms. They go: There, their, and they're.
There is the easiest form to use, so fucket.
Their is used to indicate collective possession.
"That whore is their whore."
"I busted out my stereo on those niggas and played some base on their heads."
"Fuck! My outpost just got hit by their attacks!"
They're is used as a shortened form of "they are," to indicate multiple subjects in a state of something. You all know this.
"They're being assholes to me."
"Hey bro, they're going to jack your shit if you dont lock your door."
"What the fuck! They're sending so many damn zerglings!"
When you go to write a passage, and you don't know whether or not to use "their" or "they're", just do it like this:
Is this motherfucking sentence trying to indicate possession? If so, put a their there.
Can I replace the "the/re/ir/y're with "they fucking are"? If so, put a they're there, or a they are if you are writing some professional crap.
The few educated people in this galaxy might thing more highly of you if you take five and a quarter seconds to remember those simple rules.
NEXT: the apostrophe. People suck ass, and and so does this punctuation. You think you got it right? You probably still fuck it up from time to time so read this shit.
One simple rule to remember -- the " 's " indicates ownership. NOT FUCKING PLURALITY. If you want to say something is more than one, stay away from that key on your keyboard. You don't say "mattress'es", so dont say "pillow's" unless the pillows own something cause they are sentient lifeforms or something. Here is how you dont sound like a retard on the go:
Does this thing own something? Am i trying to indicate that here? Put 's then
Is it just more than one? Then don't you fucking touch that key.
Also, when you are trying to indicate both just tack the apostrophe on the end like " boys' ." In the case of some fucked up shit like "children" just put "children's." You guys know this.
Now its time for the hard motherfucker of the day. "It's." The apostrophe is the form for the contraction of it is. So same shit.
If you are typing something and can replace the "its" with "it fucking is" then it is "it's". If not, stay away from the apostrophe.
Good job bitches. Please try not to make these mistakes on the internet, or nobody will take yo ass seriously.
Thank you.
