I have distanced myself from people because of their terrible "there, their and they're" usage. Maybe it makes me a bad person, but I can deal with that for the honor of grammar.

sophomore year of college, my art history professor had a tutor from the writing center come into our class to help edit papers because so many people could not get there, they're and their straight.

i would have been mortified if i was one of those people who didn't know how to use them the right way.

"i once broke up with somebody because of their incessant confusion"

If you were REALLY a grammar nazi, then you wouldn't have just used 'their' as a singular pronoun; 'their' implies multiple people, whereas I'm willing to assume you broke up with a single person. Hence, "I once broke up with somebody because of his/her incessant confusion."

Sorry, I'm an English major.

I am doing an English degree and earlier this semester, at the beginning of our third year, we had to have a lecture on this very subject. It was so embarrassing.

Funny you should say so! I have a friend who graduated from Berkeley who still writes crap sentences like "So the dog forgot it's bones which are over they're." To be fair, his degree is in biochemistry, but...oh wait, that's not being fair. His grammar is still crap.

Then I found a group of idiots on Facebook who all flocked to join the UCLA group "FRESHMENS FOREVER."

That's the beauty of tutoring; I make three times as much per hour, and I get to drill grammar rules into impressionable children.

people write ur? ... what upsets me is when people misuse well and good. well is an adverb, good, an adjective!

Perfectly legitimate reason to break up! I think it would drive me crazy too. My boyfriend and I share a blog called To, Too Two.

I'm so glad this was reprinted...I always regretted not buying it when it came out. It annoys me most when people use "they're" instead of "their..." one is a CONTRACTION, how can they not see that it's wrong!?

damn ajay13, i didn't know people's lives imitated plots that sound like they're ripped directly from Seinfeld in real life! Also, this shirt reminds me of David Cross's sheer terror and intense hatred towards anyone who mis-used the word "literally"- "Dude, I literally shit my pants i was laughin' so hard!" "Oh wow...so what did you do with your shitty pants?" "No dude, I LITERALLY shit my pants, you're not understandin' me..."

People people people, why do you have to be so anal about these little things. The way I see it is ... they all sound the same and so there is a legitimate reason why people get these words confused, but as long as you understand what they're trying to say, then that should be all that matters.
Oh my gosh, he used "their" instead of "there", omigosh call the grammar police and arrest this man, he is soo screwing over our precious grammar system.

That wouldn't be the grammar police, that would be the usage police.

I, too, have been known to flip out on people for using homophones interchangeably. The design just doesn't do it for me, however. I thought this little segue might be appropriate given the inspiration of this shirt. http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/11/11/nz.text.ap/index.html

lemonalle- both police forces are housed under the same busted tin-roof hut behind the Homeland Security offices, underfunded and laughed at out of the FBI windows that haven't been sealed from the inside yet.

"but as long as you understand what they're trying to say, then that should be all that matters. "
Until you're writing your personal statement for college... then again, I guess nakedzombieforce effectively killed that point.

What about "then" and "than"? That one can be tricky.
I work in a writing centre and can't wait to break this bad-boy out!

One time, back in highschool, a group of friends and I created "The Adverbial Preservation Society" We inforced the proper use of "well" and "good". It was more of an excuse to watch movies at luch time but hey, we did do SOME enforcing.

at work (i am a waiter), when i ask people how they're doing and they say "well" instead of "gewd", i don't charge them for soft drinks.

well good for you! i constantly correct people, too. i think it's starting to piss them off, but i can't help it if they aren't well-educated with their unforgivables! D:

p.s. i think most people haven't discovered "they're," meaning they only know and use "there" and "their."
