There refers to a place or location.
Example: Look, fat people live over there.
There is also used with the verb "be" (is, am, are, was, were) to indicate the existence of something, or to mention something for the first time.
Example: Was there a reason to post that there?
Their is possessive.
Example: Their body composes of 90% fat.
They're is a contraction of they are. When using they're, always think, they are.
Example: They're really fat.
Now, time to use all three together.
Warning: This is for experts only!
Example: They're at their house, over there!
You might be wondering why I made this thread. And I do understand that this is not school, but seriously, it makes you look stupid if you repeatedly use the wrong there, their, or they're. Well I am not picking on anybody, but here are a few recent examples of improper use:

I didn't want to post too many examples so I only posted 4 from the shoutbox and 4 from the forums. I used the first examples I came across.

I really like this thread. Contrariwise, I don’t think that I’ve miss-used that spelling of “there”, I never do. I would think that I have used it in a different context within a conversation. I do actually take time to check that sort of stuff, yet still I am the first fool you pull up over it! :cry:
And I think "your and you're" should also be differentiated between in this thread.
P.S. I am honoured that you would quote me in a thread of yours
