Eaten too much chocolate, on a sugar high, time for a rant!
Why cant people learn to use the correct version of words?!!! To help those of you out I figured we needed a spelling thread!
Their - Belonging to them; "The corsa was theirs"
There - Location "The corsa was over there"
They're - They are; "They're most annoying when they use the wrong word!"
Brakes - commonly used to slow the car down
Breaks - commonly used to describe what happens when the above fails to work!
Feel free to add anymore, i'm not taking the piss just figured it would be kinda useful for reference and also to reduce my stress levels by ranting for a while

I seriously cannot be arsed to post every single mistake this site's members produce 
It's a joke.
I'd rather correct them in their own thread and annoy them. I am fully aware this may lead to a ban.

People moan at me when i point out brought instead of bought.
It's not a spelling mistake though.
Can't fault people for the odd mistake as some replies are made as quick as possible.
Its the thickos that really don't know how to speak properly that are annoying.

Apostrophe used to imply ownership or relation... I feel that is correct usage. Without the apostrophe, it would be "sites" - the plural of site - which would constitute a grammatical error.
