To all you grammar Nazi's

[Mohamad M Mohamad]

Because they sound alike the words there and their are often misspelled. A good way to remember the difference is: The place "here" with a T is "there". While "there" refers to a place, "their" means belonging to them. For example, Their van was destroyed in the accident. While they're is short for they are.

The apostrophe means its a contraction of 'who is'. The other is of course the sort of possessive thingy, so 'the man whose hair is brown' Not to be confused with other possessive form: 'John's hair is brown' English is a mess, that's for sure, I don't blame anyone for getting it wrong. :)

Surely not; it should be: their, they're there.
