I'm here to give you guys some advice on when to use there, their, & they're. All of the words sound the same, but they are used at different places. There is used when you are referring to a place. It can also be used to point out the existence of something, or to mention something. When you do use it like those last two ways, you have to use it with the verbs is, am, are, was, and where. Ex. There is a bakery on the next road. Look over there. I can't believe there is no bread left. Wait over there. When are there going to be new dishes? Their is a possessive adjective. You use it when you are indicating that something belongs to someone. Ex. Their shirt is blue. Why are their fingers so long? Just wait until you see how big their house is! They're is used in place of they are. It's a conjunction of the two words. Ex. They're so annoying. Look at these cups, they're just like ours!

It's just how things were made from plenty of years ago. I prefer to use capitalization. I think that it looks better. Even if I didn't want to use it, my fingers just kind of go to the shift button on habit.

The quote, "there's plenty of more fish in the sea", refers to when your boyfriend, or girlfriend, has recently broken up with you. When you've just been broken up with, you think that you life is over, and you're never going to find another person, but the quote tells you that there are plenty of other men out there for you

For commas (,)- use it before a coordinating conjunction. The coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. A easy way to remember them is to use FANBOY. F- For A- And N- Nor B- But O- Or Y- Yet S- So Ex: I wanted to pet the dog, BUT the owner didn't want me to. My friend invited me over, YET she wasn't there when I came over. Colon (- Use a colon when you're about to list something, or if you're writing a formal letter. Ex. Animals: Dog Cat Bird Fish To Mr. Shoe: Semi-Colons (- You use semi-colons when you are using two independent clauses in a sentence. It is basically taking the place of a coordinating conjunction. I'll use the same examples that I did earlier, but using the semi-colon in it's place. Ex. I wanted to pet the dog; the owner didn't want me to. My friend invited me over; she wasn't there when I came over.

Most people say I could care less. When you're saying I could care less, you're saying that you could care less than you already do, meaning that you give no care in the world. When you're saying I couldn't care less, that means that you can't care any less than you do, which in turn means that you do, in fact, could be caring a little bit. So it really just depends on what you want to say.

I don't like Google Translate. If you're translating just one word, then it's fine, but if you're translating a whole paragraph, or something like that, it's terrible. A lot of the words, won't even be the correct translation.

I like to learn old words. Sometimes, I'll be in the middle of a conversation, and in the middle of my sentence, I'll use an old word. I love to see the confused look on their face! I also think that it's really cool to learn them.

I increase my vocabulary by reading the dictionary. I know it may sound weird, but some times I'll just pull out my dictionary and start reading it.

I prefer to use bigger words. I think that they make me seem smarter.

I, also, use the Webster Dictionary. IF I am online though, I will use Dictionary.com.

I'm pretty sure that both words are acceptable. I've seen people spell it both ways.

Some computers do have a setting to change the spell checker to a different language. It does annoy me though, how I won't know if I actually spelt the word wrong, or if they just think that I spelt it wrong.

Yeah, I always use correct grammar. It annoys me when my friends don't.
