This is a link to my twitter. I hate twitter, but in order to pass an assignment, I had to make an account. I don't update my status, ever.

There, their, they're
If you don't know how to properly use these, go back to 3rd grade.
Examples:
YES
There are 3 apples.
NO
Their are 3 apples.
(This makes no sense, DON'T DO IT.)
They're are 3 apples.
(This means they are are 3 apples. They're is a contraction of they are. AGAIN....NO.)
YES
They're going to a restaurant.
NO
Their going to a restaurant.
(This sentence is not meant to show possession.)
There going to a restaurant.
(This is not correct.)
YES
I went to their house.
NO
I went to there house.
(Nope.)
I went to they're house.
(I went to they are house? Doesn't make sense.)
GET IT RIGHT.
This means you, facebook crowd. You learned it in 3rd grade, now use these words correctly.
