The three found in countless forums is-- there ( location, for example) they're ( they are) and their ( ownership of something.). The spelling "there" is regularly used for all three, and the other two don't seem to exist much these days. A US friend has a forum for US students and they always seem to have trouble spelling the word--add ( short for addition ). Without hardly an exception, they always spell it-- ad ( short for advertisement ). A number of US kids seem to be increasintgly spelling their words phonetically, and must wonder what they're now being taught over there? It certainly wasn't like that in the '60s.

But at least those of us who were dragged up in the 50's/60's/70's were taught grammer and spellings and the like, unlike these days.(and if I've made any mistakes here it's not me it's my pc ) My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
