    I hate to see the wrong spellings for words of different meanings.
    ie their, there, they're etc...

    Their= Their dogs.
    There= Over there, or there is.
    They're= They are..

    Is the language that hard or is it just "the dumbing down of America."??

    Mind you it's mind boggling at times, how many weathers/whether's/wether's are there.....

    I've hit my head a few times, and been shocked a few more since I had College English.
