Their - Belonging to. "they love their new house"
There - "Over there"
They're - They are, abbreviated.

To - adjoining, as in; "I am going to the football match"
Too - Aswell as, "Westy the virgin is going to the match too"

Their refers to the third person i.e "i saw their cosie the other day"

There refers to position / place i.e "i saw a cossie over there"

to and too...........

"I was going to take my cossie out today but its snowing too much"

The one that gets me is the " 'I' before 'E' except after 'C' " rule

It blatantly doesn't work... "Their" is a good example... according to that rule above it should be spelt "thier" ?

Also the word "weird"....

No, thats not true atall. I know the difference, but I have seen many people come on here and exclaim that they have just 'brought a new car'.

That is seen almost as many times as those that have just upgraded their 'breaks'.

ROFL @ passiongrammar

I too also hate the "brought" / "bought" stupidity - pisses me right off!

I BOUGHT a car, and I BROUGHT it to your house to show you..... Simple!!!!

I don't get how people think they went to the shop and BROUGHT an apple - do they also ask the shop keeper;

"I'd like to BRY this apple please"

YOU'RE is an abbreviation of YOU ARE.

"Can we go to YOUR house to fuck on your Mum's sofa?"

"YOU'RE the most goddam sexy little slut ever"
