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

 

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
