I know I probably mess that up more than most thank you WV schools. If I sit back and think about it yeah I get it right most of the time unfortunately I'm capable of typing much faster than I can think LOL.
"there" or "their"
My wife laughs at me because I pronounce "their" and it rhimes with "her"
"there" rhimes with "air" But I always use the right one in my posts.
Those rural Tennessee one room school houses for grades 1-2-3 really did it on this one.
Try that little trick before you type and you will get it right.
Just think of how smart I would be if I had went longer.

I use to be part of the spelling and grammar police lol
I find it hard to let those easy mistakes go but have learned to do so. With auto-correct I can now blame that instead of thinking of people as either lazy or ignorant. Truth is, most of us were afforded the opportunity to learn all these words as young children but some were just too lazy to care. We all have some aspects of life that affect us that way but for me spelling always came easy.

I agree Biff it just makes me laugh a little every time I see Their and There used wrong. Because of my one room school house learnin in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade I pronounce them differently. So never seem to get them wrong. English is a brutal language to learn.
I don't know a single person who has used Algebra since having to learn it in High School.
