.... they're ...... and ......... their
Some people on this newsgroup have great difficulty comprehending things. What do you make of 'there', 'they're' and 'their'. Any takers? Or too hard? Mike -- .................................... Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive .................................... |

Their: indicates possession.. Like something is *theirs. They' contraction of 'they are'. *They're my mum and dad. I could also say *they are my mum and dad. I often see people getting it wrong. Some people don't take to it like a duck to water. I am terrible with maths, so I suppose I don't understand numbers like some people can't comprehend this. I'm sure there's an explanation for why they're getting this wrong. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. ;) People often mistake: your for you're. Like I received a text which said 'your one of my best friends', as sweet as it was! People can't help it, but for anyone who does mistake the two, you're is a contraction of you are and your also indicates possession... An example would be *isn't this yours? |

No, you're not missing a non-existent connection but you are pandering to a gigantic ego which has been chastised recently. As is usual, following such an 'episode' (one of dozens here) Crowe is now posting on anything and everything he can think of, to draw attention to himself even further so as to disrupt this group. His only interest in life is doing that. It seems a shame to assist him, imo. YMMV but I admit I can't imagine why. -- Sacha Oh Sascha, you have popped up again :-)) You just CANNOT resist my postings can you :-)) Kindest POSSIBLE regards Mike Who is NOT the President of the Royal Air Forces Association, but I guess even YOU know that by now, but will you admit it? :-)))))) -- ....................................
