Winter, winter and more winter...

...yep, back to stating facts about the weather. It's March 8th. It's cold. It's going to be colder. I'm miserable. With the temperature sitting nicely below -20 for the next couple of days, spring appears to have forgotten to make its way into the Northern Hemisphere, or at least into Central Alberta. The forecast is for two days of very cold, a couple days of chilly and then it should be above zero by the end of the week. Perhaps spring is on its way...

There, Their, They're

I guess I'll end the weekend with another quick lesson on how to write without sounding like an idiot.

There - refers to location. ex - I'm going there. Put it there. Are we there yet?

Their - the posessive. ex - It's their dog. I want their opinion.

They're - the contraction, meaning: They are. ex - They're coming over tonight. They're going to win the game.

Used altogether - They're going over there with their dog.

Again, take a nanosecond to be sure you're using the right homonym and you won't sound like an idiot!
