    Their, there, they're

    Their - pertaining to them, ie "their house", "their brother" etc
    There - somewhere other than here, ie "that house over there", "there is a good reason why they are known as Dirty Leeds"
    They're - shortened form of They are ie "The Massives? they're going down".

    If people don't want to write them correctly, it's they're/there choice.

    I’ll echo that, the clarity is really clear, and I for one will be sure to scrutinise future posts from the OP to see if I can pick up any further helpful grammatical tips.

    Interesting use of linguistics in Bristol... (this doesn't make me angry, it makes me laugh if anything) I've heard people say, rather than 'I'm just going down Asda' or 'I'm going Asda's', they say 'I'm going down Asdals'. They add an L, for no reason. Gets me every time, especially as it's always in the Bristolian accent.

    One can only find clarity by sampling the essence to but to understand the essence one must have clarity......

    An odd feature of Barnsley talk is the use of the word "While". When I did my Computer Science HNC, whilst learning the use of loops in programming, we were taught that there are 3 basic types; the FOR loop, the REPEAT UNTIL loop and the DO WHILE loop. The teacher asked if there was anyone from the Bansley area so I put my hand up. He said that the word WHILE is not used like in Barnsley ie "I'll wait while friday" instead of "I'll wait until friday"......

    It wasn't until I left that someone pointed that out to me. 'I used to work 12 while 8 on Sundays'.. Cue confusion all-round.

    Dr Death and Morgana le Fey more like.

    They both left when I was in 6th form but I can't remember who the new headmaster was. I know he was a tad more liberal minded though, for a start he scrapped daily assembly, we only had it once a week. I was there from 1967 to 1974.

    True. It's an amazing collocation of apparently diverse phenomenon.
