Chief Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Please for the love of God, use the right one.**There:**I had left my pencil over there. **Their:**I had accidentally taken their pencil. **They're:**They're a bunch of pencil thieves._There refers to a location of sorts.Their refers to ownership.They're is short for "They are" and is commonly used before an adjective._Please get it right, it's bothering me that some of you suck at your own language.

Anna Comnena Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've always found it funny as the Internet has allowed me to communicate with people from around the world, that people outside of English-primary-speaking countries, they will apologize for "their English," but will have better spelling and grammar than the average English-speaker.I have to give props to those people, I would hate to have to learn English as a second language, it's really convoluted.

I've noticed that, as well. Most native English speakers will "spek horible wordz that maek no sens" and if you call them on it, you'll get, "STFU nub i'll rap ur face!"But most people who are new to English as a second language will repeatedly apologize because they haven't quite grasped little stuff that doesn't even stop their point from getting across (the game is much funny).

My native language is Dutch, whereas my "secondary" languages are English, French and German. The languages I get "taught" at my school are: Dutch, English, French and Classical Latin.@Synectics:> LMAO. I've noticed that, as well.
