There, Their, They're


There -    answers the age old question: where?
                (note how they're even spelled similarly! revolutionary.) 

Their -     is an indicator of ownership. The voices made me do it. It is THEIR fault.

They're - is a contraction, otherwise known as putting two words together to make
                a new word. use this when you want to use the words THEY ARE, but are 
                too lazy, and decide to use a different word made up of exactly the same 
                number of characters (although, verbally this is syllabically valid).

Their! I bet now everyone with have an easier time with they're Facebook posts! I bet there other friends and family will be impressed!  ;) 

If you know why the above sentence is totally incorrect, then you have been paying attention! Go you.
