it may be the way it's been intrepreted, if it's him standing there patting a small child on the head after he's done a wee in the toilet and not on the floor you culd use it then "theres a good little boy"
they're = they are
their = a belonging to someone
there = a place

Um, no it isn't. There's is a contraction of 'there is'. Put that into the sentence and read it again. Westy was right in the first place!

How is it? In the context he worded the sentence surely it's just 'theres'?
Now you've made me question
weather or not I'm right

"theres" isn't a word. It would be "there's", as in 'there is'.
If it's possessive, it's "theirs" with no apostrophe.

Now I've given it some more thought, I may be inclined to agree with you
I always thought you could have 'theres' in the same way you can have 'theirs' but as you said I suppose it's always 'there is'

It isn't a word, it's two words - at all.

I can safely say that I know of no other forum with so many educated persons.....
And here was I thinking it was full o' Barries....
One that irritates the crap out of me is 'writ' rather than 'wrote'..

you forgot to correct the 'your' into 'you're'. is that ironic as well? or just lazy or too stupid to notice?

Laziness..although I didn't correct any of it, just highlighted one of the grammatical errors...

We also start sentences with capital letters which you have failed to notice and also action yourself.

How many times did you re-read what you wrote to be extra sure you hadn't made any mistakes?

I'd say not. People overuse commas IMO. You could put one after 'notice' and it'd still make sense, but it makes sense as is.

People that don't pronounce their "t"s when they speak.
Butter = buh-er.
But = buh.
When was the last time you saw someone ineloquent in a well paid job? Of course there are exceptions [all the Essex boys that work in the city for a start
] but on the whole, leaders of industry and the country don't speak like gutter snipes.
