Happy New Year to all viewers. Thanks for watching and passing on your feedback. May you have a radiant year in 2010.

[RebeccaESL]

Just shows we have the ability to learn at any age! Good for you.

[RebeccaESL]

Sometimes the simple things can trip us up. Glad the lesson has helped some of you.

I see their, there, and they're used incorrectly on the internet so much, that when I do see it used correctly it looks strange to me. How sad is that?

[RebeccaESL]

How great that you can now tell the difference between what's right and what's wrong on the Internet. Quite an achievement, I'd say!

Thank you. At first I thought it might be way too easy for me but I wrote down an example and there we are, I accidently made a mistake.. Instead of they're I wrote there're ))And just like that it may happen on the test day.

[RebeccaESL]

Good thing you decided to try the test. Glad the lesson helped.

I really am tired of people not knowing the god damned difference. Everybody on youtube uses the same fucking "there gay". No, dear. "They're gay" is probably what you're looking for. You illiterate fuck.

Also, i forgot to add that an apostrophe can be used to show ownership as well. For instance, "Bob's house is big." The apostrophe followed by the "s" signifies the house belongs to Bob.

@K4inan

"ITS" is used to show ownership of something. For example: "The dog likes its toy." The toy belongs to the dog so you would use "its" to show his ownership.

"IT'S" is a contraction and literally means "It is," or "it has." For example for "It is:" "It's snowing." This sentence could also be written "It is snowing." Example of "it has:" "It's been a long day." This sentence could also be written "It has been a long day." I hope this is helpful.
