For the most part, those are just TYPOS. Because words like "their" and "there" sound identical, they are often located in the same part of the brain, causing people to make typos, people who know exactly the different
( <--a typo which should be "difference" ) between the meanings of those two words. I myself do that ALL THE TIME. And I know those words are not interchangeable, but when typing, it happens and happens to me a lot. My mind things
( <--another typo I caught my hands doing, that word should be "thinks" ) “their”, and then my hands type “there” without me realizing it. This is one typing error that I can’t seem to stop. I do it everyday. I have to proof read my typing in order to catch the mistakes my hands are making on the keyboard. This is a hardwired mistake.
Whoever decided it was OK to have two words in the English language that sound exactly the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings is AN IDIOT!
You may remember me as 69Ron. I was suspended years ago for selling bunk products under false pretenses. I try to sneak back from time to time under different names, but unfortunately, the moderators of the DMT-Nexus are infinitely smarter than I am.
If you see me at the waterpark, please say hello. I'll be the delusional 50 something in the American flag Speedo, oiling up his monster guns while responding to imaginary requests for selfies from invisible teenage girls.
