However, it is vital to get things right if you debate someone or try to convey an essential piece of info or an opinion. Even if you are not dumb, sometimes it looks that way. So here are a couple of essential hints just about spelling.

There, there and they are. There is a place. It has the word here in it, which is also a place. So use the word there if you are talking about a place. They imply ownership. You use this if talking about a group of people owning something. THEIR CAR. Their thought. Their opinion. It is a pronoun so that it can be tricky in today’s world. LOL. They are short, for they are. If the word you are talking about can be divided into those two words, use the apostrophe.
