Swampstomper Al Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Howdy Y'all, I'm not the speeling police or anything like that.. However, I'd like to offer a very easy way to determine & remember the correct form of two words with which many have difficulty: Your / You're and there / their / they're.. You're & they're: The apostrophe [ ' ] = contraction.. You are; they are.. Ezy pzy.. There = here.. Substitute to verify.. Examples: I'm on my way there. / ( I'm on my way here. ) Let's go there for lunch. / ( Let's go here for lunch. ) There are four sizes. / ( Here are four sizes. ) Your & their = my.. Substitute to verify.. Examples: Your truck is on my claim. / ( My truck is on my claim. ) Their truck is on my claim. / ( My truck is on my claim. ) They're quite proud of the fact their design took first place there. You're going to get towed by their security if you keep parking your car there. Hope this helps.. Swamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
