Comment Re:their .vs. there, etc (Score 1) 2360
I would be willing to bet that the majority of native English speakers do not know when to use "their" vs. "there" OR "your" vs. "you're" OR "sit" vs. "set" OR "lay" vs. "lie"....
They also probably don't know what those four dots in a row following my last sentence are called. They don't know when there should be three and when there should be four. They don't know that my four dots are not technically correct because the spacing is not correct.
But the reason they don't know all of these things, is not that they suffer from some mental defect. The reason that they don't know all those things is that they are simply not interested.
Hell, maybe they're on to something.
