The difference between Their, There, & They're.

I think very highly of the English language and try my best to continue using proper grammar, spelling, & punctuation (unless I am being facetious of course). Is it just me that gets a little irk every time someone cannot properly use a homophone? I'm always nice to people regardless of how poorly they use the English language over text but I often find myself biting my tongue. I guess for me, having a firm grasp on the English language is an absolute turn on. Anyone else agree?

Oh yeah. I totally agree. English is not even my 1st language and i i find that i speak/write it better than most of my customers who's 1st language is english. This drives me crazy, and with the regulars i even take the liberty to correct them when they screw up. I'm like...hey..i know usually americans only speak english..and they think it's the only language in the world...so i don't expect them to speak 10 other languages but..come on...you can at least learn english well and speak it correctly. Sometimes it's so hard to figure out what they wanna say...
