What do the different there's mean? I always get them confused. There their and they're. Can someone explain?

The confusion between their, there, and they're occurs because the three words are pronounced in very similar ways. If the word means "belonging to them," use their. If you're able to replace the word with "they are," usethey're. Otherwise, there is only one correct answer: there.

No, I think it is derailed by poor spelling and bad grammar.

Edit:- I'm bored. Sorry for being anal.

At what point do you accept political correctness?

Feminism - homosexuality - slavery? At what point does black become grey then white?

Society is evolving and what was politically correct 200 years ago may not be now, we are evolving. So what is politically correct evolves. You can choose to move with it or become part of history.


It's my opinion that if you abbreviate it to PC, you're clearly talking about political correctness too often. it's not as if anybody abbreviates Racist Bogan to RB. Got better things to do.

Some of you guys need a job/hobby

My hobby is to scour the places where people without jobs and hobbys lurk and tell them they need a job and a hobby. I just wish I was being payed for my public service.

I doubt you will.

Oh the irony. So, back on topic. Anything happening at Etihad today? Yawn.

FYI

Sam Landsberger: "Hawthorn likes Demon Jack Fitzpatrick. Expect the champs to sign the 200cm goalkicker as a delisted free agent."

SEN hearing that there may be a threeway with Howe to Collingwood for Kennedy and a pick and toumpas to port for a pick.

What mentally fragile and taking a break from football?

ManDee is right. Society's moral compass is in a constant state of flux. It is no longer deemed acceptable to chain up a lesbian without their express permission. The degree of difficulty, and indeed the desire, to obtain said permission (from the chainee - if that's even a word) is a subject matter in which I have no experience and expertise however we're fortunate enough on this board to have some contributors who may be in the position to shed some light on this matter.

Spelling and grammar is, I think, very important to a healthy functioning society. It's fundamental to being able to clearly articulate ideas. It leads to a greater understanding and therefore in my opinion can help resolve and potentially prevent conflict. Better spelling and grammar could indeed be the key to fighting the spread of misdirected religious fundamentalism across the globe.

That being said I'm so like totes up for chaining Jeremy Howe up to a wall until he agrees to go to the Suns in exchange for a pick upgrade...or whatever.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
