Yes, you can understand just fine because of context. But only because of the context. Were you to see the word by itself, you'd think of them by their specific meanings. "They're" by itself is a contraction, and is actually "They Are". "There" is a reference to a different location. And "Their", is a possessive, dictating ownership in reference to an entity. These do not all mean the same thing, and are spelt differently to demonstrate a visual distinction. It's just bad luck that they happen to all sound the same, such as how Homophones are.

Why is the tldr longer than the original post

Edited by Gravy Train: 4/27/2017 12:33:59 PMBecause words have meaning. If you are not a native English speaker I'm just pointing out the correct spelling for your benefit. If you are a native English speaker I'm ridiculing you for your ignorance.

Yeah I have never seen so many people get so bent out of shape over such an insignificant thing. Normally I wouldn't point this out, but since it's pertaining to the post.... [spoiler]you forgot the apostrophe in "theyre" in your tag 😀[/spoiler]

Because when they can't refute your arguments, they attack how you said it as a shield to protect them from having to actually disprove it.

It has to do with taking pride in your work. If you don't take yourself seriously, why should the rest of us?

Edited by Satanic Mechanic: 4/26/2017 12:54:51 PMIf I get the gist of what you're saying that's good enough for me in this format... Never understood the people that run around correcting other people...As if they are some college professor grading your final essay... Exp since most of them never have anything to add to the conversation instead they just focus on your minor typos... I think it's their passive aggressive way of saying "I'm better than you and THIS proves it"...

Tl;dr is longer than actual post[spoiler]Are you sure you know what tl;dr stands for?[/spoiler]

It matters because the words have different meanings. When I'm reading, I interpret the word for its literal meaning - I don't think of all the phonetically equivalent words. Once I do a double-take, I can realize what the person meant, but that's extra effort on my part. Why not just be literate?
