Enough is enough. Time to spell the homophones "There," They're," and "Their" the same!

Spelling is a lost art, anyway. I can almost always, maybe always, tell by context which th --- the writer meant. Which is why it is a distraction, either amusing or annoying, depending on my mood.

I just saw an example on here, by a poster who was making a good point, and it really annoyed me, because it broke my concentration on the substance. Once in a great while, I make the slip myself. I always catch it after I re-read my post, and I obsessively must correct it. So let's just make them all the same.

Ok, nothing we can to to change the world from here. But, may I propose that we avoid pointing this error out on this forum, no matter how tempting it is? That would be a start.

I cannot ever get effective vs affective

I cannot ever get effective vs affective

One is good, the other bad.

It's always good when something is effective. Typically not so good to be affective.

Of course, there are exceptions to both.

You can't spell "their" and "they're" the same. "they're" is two different words.

Kind of easy.

My, your, his, her, its.

I'm, you're, he's, she's, it's.......

I mean.... how easy is that?

It is = it's

i keep thinking it's is possessive than it's = it is.

As long as you think about why one has an apostrophe then it becomes easy.
