I never use They're, Their, and There correctly

I know when to use each one but when typing i just go so fast that i never pay attention. Normally when i type anyway there will be some pretty out there grammatical errors and i don’t know why. I guess I haven’t been spending enough time in English class lately.

Don’t feel bad I think it’s SZ. I know the difference between two, to and too but I still get it wrong and don’t see it. When I work I have to check my emails four or five times before sending. I have a hard time seeing the errors.

man thought I’d try to explain but yeah it’s confusing

there is… you your you’re
and there is… there they’re theirs

and that is the only real overlap but I believe it is the source of your confusion as all of this revolves around the inconsistency of the apostrophe rule…

’ the apostrophe is a contraction before possessive… Bryan’s school belongs to bryan… while your (no apostrophe) belongs to you…

so you’re == you are… and they’re === they are… not possessive…

I’ve always edited as I go along. I don’t know where I picked up that habit, but it was the reason that I never read any of my papers before turning them in (in high school at least, I plead the 5th for college papers.)

I think it is because you write down what you would speak.

I have a hard time with yea and yeah. And lately with their and there.
