• Using slang in a job application.
• Being too casual with your boss.
• Mixing styles within the same text.
🔑 Key Points:

Common Grammar Mistake: 😤

Mixing Up “*There*, *Their*, and *They’re*😱

(AKA the Unholy Trinity of English Confusion)

The Simple Rule:🤗

*There* = a place ("*over there*")
*Their*= ownership ("*their lunch disappeared mysteriously*")
*They’re* = *they are* ("*they’re gonna freak when they see the deadline*")

Real-Life Examples:

In an office chat:
Wrong: "Their going to the meeting in the other room."
*Right:* "They’re going to the meeting in the other room." (*They are*, genius.)

Texting your coworker:
Wrong: "Can you put it on there desk?"
Right: "Can you put it on *their* desk?" (*Their* = it belongs to them. Like that passive-aggressive mug that says ‘World’s Okayest Employee.’)

Talking to your boss:
Wrong: "I think there just not motivated."
Right: "I think *they’re* just not motivated."
(Bonus tip: Don’t say that to your boss. HR will be *right there*.)

Analogy to Remember:🤝😴

Think of it like a drama-filled reality TV trio:

*There* is the location queen. She’s always showing up *somewhere* late, looking confused.
* *Their* is the *possessive twin*. Touch her stuff and she’ll fight you.
* *They’re* is the *contraction couple*. It’s literally two people smashed into one. (*They + are = they’re*).

Imagine them walking into the office:🤗

*There* walks in late again.
*Their* coffee spills all over the shared report.
*They’re* yelling about how it’s “not their fault.”

And that’s how grammar becomes a soap opera.💅

Why do we have two sets of teeth?

The reason you have two sets of teeth probably comes down to size. A full set of permanent teeth would be too big to fit into a young child's mouth. So milk teeth act as a bridge until the jaw is large enough to accommodate a full set of permanent teeth. The last teeth that emerge are your wisdom teeth.
