There's an irony there somewhere!  ::)   ::)  ;)  :y  no spaces after full stops or commas and no capital letters for a new sentance or names!

but I agree especially with there, their & they're when loads don't seem to have a clue which should be used.  :y

Good response, Andy. :y
I don't want to sound snobby at all, but I have to say, I cannot decipher some of the postings on here, mainly due to grammar or spelling. ;)
Or, it could be, that their keyboards cannot spell ;D ;D ;D ;D

So then, it's okay to take the p*** out of someone before you know if they have a problem with such a thing as dyslexia and may have not got the real help they needed when they were younger, as teachers used to think you were thick or mentally retarded.

Okay, so some of us are not very good at reading and writing, but if some of us here have dyslexia and have trouble getting by, you've just gone and made them feel more like an 'idiot' than anything else.  >:(

They're has an apostrophe hence it's from two words...they are.
 There is the easy one...as in over there.
 Thier can be used as to own...thier car.

  Another common misuse is:-
  To. I am going to...
   Too. I am too (as well)
   Two. As in the number 2.

  I'm told English is one of the hardest languages for a foreigner to learn what with our nouns, pro nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs etc. The i before e rule does'nt always stand even except after c & the aposrophe arguement will NEVER be settled!!!! ::)
