OK this is one of my pet peeves, and I know that probably most of you, after knowing this, will exploit this weakness at will.

Any hoo, there are 3 different ways to spell and thus 3 different usages of the word "there"

1. THERE - relating a noun to a place. example: "I bet they have the Lain Box Set over there."

2. THEIR - relating possesion to a person or group. example: "Their FanSubs of the CardCaptor Sakura movie are the best."

3. THEY'RE - essentially a contraction of THEY ARE example: They're the snobbiest Otaku I've ever met in my life.

I hope that I have shed some informative light on these varitable landmines of English Grammar. :D

I have an idea why don't we just use a series of clicks and chirps. it's a lot less complicated than the english language :D

for a while I thought that to and too were the same thing than I took up reading as a hobby (it was so my ma would stop hassling me about watching anime all day). to is used in the form of "let's go to the park" and too is used in the form me too. see it is simple :D
