" There, their and they're.
Many people are so spooked by apostrophes that a word like theyre seems to them as if it might mean almost anything. In fact, its always a contraction of they are. If youve written theyre, ask yourself whether you can substitute they are. If not, youve made a mistake. Their is a possessive pronoun like her or our They eat their hotdogs with sauerkraut.
Everything else is there. There goes the ball, out of the park! See it? Right there! There arent very many home runs like that. Thier is a common misspelling, but you can avoid it by remembering that they and their begin with the same three letters. Another hint: there has here buried inside it to remind you it refers to place, while their has heir buried in it to remind you that it has to do with possession. "

But see, wouldn't that mean I was only wrong if you assume I meant to show ownership....
They could have a broken (.) on their keyboard. Would be right if you mean the keyboard they own.
They could have a broken (.) on there keyboard. The keyboards is not theirs per-say but it is there an they are using it.
Not that I care, being southern means I don't have to.
In my defense, I went directly to Michickenwranglers last post.
