English lesson for the day
 
A long time ago I devised a formula to help with the three different spellings of a word that sounds the same but has three different meanings. I thought I would pass it on.

ThERE = hERE, everywhERE
thEIr = hErs, hIs
They'RE= they aRE

Trivial I know but I figure that's o.k. as I have my flame suit on. :D

Some idiot is going to try and remember this and say "They'RE = heRE, everywheRE"

they're not three different spellings of a word. "there" is not a homonym...

they're three different words.. and in one case a contraction!

derp..

The way I came up with is to see the HEIR in tHEIR. An heir owns. "Their" owns.
