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.

Thanks for reading,

Its sounds like you are only going into Pvt Premium just to leach and leak porn and file hosting logins. That is pathetic and you are the reason for Pvt Premium getting revamped. Leachers like you make me sick No

People who misuse their, they're, and there will probably either disregard or forget this, and therefore they probably will not change. Those of us who attended the first grade and understand English fundamentals won't make those mistakes in the first place.
Although, 'tis a good post!

yes I am a leecher but in no way shape or form am I a leaker like my post over at the announcement of private premium if there were no leechers there would be nothing for people like you (i saw u do contribute to the community very nice :ySmile give to the leechers ok let me explain to you Private premium is just a bunch of leechers I looked at your rep wall and I'm sad to see people don't thank you or rep you for your file hosting/whatever it was login/cookies? those are bad leechers back when hacking section was where all the info was I was a good leacher I just took in the information and kept it to myself like a leech but I never leaked it say i bet ppl used your login you gave to Pvt premium but I bet you there are some ppl that used it and they didn't even acknowledged it they just leeched they didn't even thank nor anything in other words they didn't appreciated your work me in the other hand being a good leecher I would of posted a comment saying thank you for this gave you a thanks/rep whichever I don't care you see most of ngu are full of leechers they jsut take in and they don't give back to the community in no way shape or form like me I don't have any set of valuable skills that could let me get any valuable information say I don't know how to get Passwords... I don't know how to get logins (same thing as password) I don't know how to use rats If I knew how to do all of this I would more than gladly share it with all the NGU community

TLAwesome faceR version: in reality there is none but ill say this Get your shit straight and don't call me a F'n leaker when I am not yes i am a leecher because I don't have skills to give back to the community and no buddy I am not the reason why Pvt premium is getting revamped its because of the current leaking fags that are in there so ya thats it

Find me on Steam.
Using fat as an example, "this is for experts only", it just seems like a spam thread. This is stuff you get taught in school, and if people still don't understand, they're either probably mentally disabled, slow, don't care, or English isn't their first language, so what's the point of this spam thread.. It's just like me making a thread to show the difference between which and witch, your and you're, weather and whether.

Is this really general discussion, or just someone showing screenshots of people to highlight the mistakes they made and make them look stupid..
