Hello, I am a grammar freak online, as you can see.
I am here to tell everyone on how to use your, you're, than, then, there, their, and they're, because I see too much mistakes and my OCD of correcting them has come too far.
-You use 'your' when you are talking about something that a person owns. Example: This is your doll.
-You use 'you're' when you are describing the person. Example: You're evil.
-You use 'there' when you are talking about a specific location. Example: Put that doll over there.
-You use 'their' when you are talking about something that more than one person owns. Example: This is their cabin.
-You use 'they're' when you are describing more than one person. Example: My students are terrible! They're bad at grammar!
-You use 'then' when you are talking about something that comes after another event. Example: Do the dishes first, then take out the trash.
-You use 'than' when you are comparing two objects. Example: This cookie tastes better than my cake.
---------------- Now that you have read this forum, you can now link people this whenever they have misused these words.
Example:

| And no one seems to give a crap about it anymore. Honestly, though, this isn't a job where you write/type a lot, nor is it English class or an essay for school. People aren't going to care if it won't impact them negatively, so why bother? Just be content with knowing you look like a more intelligent person than the people who use those words incorrectly. |
