    Stone Cold's grammar rodeo

    In the interests of improving grammar in this forum I'm going to present a series of lessons on the correct use of the English language.

    Lesson one is the differences between there, their and they're.

    "There" refers to a location. "Their" refers to something that belongs to a group of people. "They're" is short for "they are".

    They're over there talking about their rugby teams.

    Coming attractions include:
    The difference between your and you're;
    The correct use of apostrophes; and
    The difference between its and it's.

    You're welcome.

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    No, but he wholeheartedly endorses the product and/or comments!

    Please watch out for the apostrophe lesson to see where you may have erred in this post

    (Spelling lessons probably required as well)
