I'm no saint at the english language myself, but some of the stuff I see on here is very BASIC stuff. I'm rusty on this stuff as well so correct me if I'm wrong but..

The 3 that I see more than any is the misuse of: their, there, and they're

their is 3 losses coming this season for master richt

INCORRECT their is used to indicate POSSESSION of something. For example, "that is THEIRS" not "that is THERES"...... "the hurricanes is theirs ( mark and jons ) to destroy at will" "that's THEIR car" "that's THEIR dog"

They're is simply a shortened version of "they are"... THAT'S IT "they are going to the game" "THEY'RE going to the game" "those 2 dumbasses, jon and mark, yah that's them they are ( THEY'RE ) over there playing ps4"

There is technically used as a pronoun in.... oh ***** it i'm not gonna spell that out in what will be gibberish sounding to a lot on this forum. I'll simply say it's sort of a way of indicating direction "mark rich is over there teaching briles how gimmicky that scheme is" "mork golden has been there before, he's a 9-3 coach with federal funding on his best day"

yes I understand it's an internet forum, no I don't want you writing emails to your grandma's and embarrassing yourselves.. carry on

Dat ain't rite, just sayin'
Although I do sometimes question the intelligence (and therefore the veracity) of a poster who probably flunked grammar zero,
