This post is about fish. 
For those that don't know:
The words there, their, and they're are not interchangeable.
These can be used correctly as follows:
There is a huge fish in that tank.
These fish have stripes on their tails.
Yes, they're great fish to keep in a tank that size.
This is incorrect:
I think their buying there fish from that store over there're.
If you can't remember which one to use when, then just pick one and use it all the time (pick the one that's easiest to spell):
I think their buying their fish from that store over their.
This way you'll be correct 1/3rd of the time.
See, I told you it was about fish.
No, I'm not a teacher, but I am getting old...

) . It isn't so important for me on this forum - just irritating. I am such a newbie that I rarely have anything useful to add. However, I frequent other message boards where I *am* an expert, and sometimes I look at a post and think "I have no idea what this person actually means, and what is more I really can't be bothered to work it out"
