Now, I see people every day using the word "there" when it in my mind clearly should say "their". Why?
Then I see, that most of the people that do this are native english speaking. UK/US..
Please explain this to me as i know you guys are not stupid or uneducated. Maybe it is not important at all?
No offence, i just have to know!
Thanks

No, it's important. It's just that the English language has confusing rules that result in such mistakes. It's easy to make these kinds of mistakes, though those that care about their use of proper English don't make 'em.

I, myself, love to write according to the proper rules of grammar. I'm proud to speak English. So, there!
