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.

Spelling police'

This thread has official been derailed by the spelling and grammar police.

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

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

and never forget those pesky PC fools

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.

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

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
