The minions of the Bristol Post, possibly under strain from toiling away at the Temple Way Ministry of Truth looking for the city’s blandest news content, seem to have particular difficulty with homophones, i.e. words that are pronounced the same as another word but differ in meaning and may differ in spelling.
This was amply illustrated below by a photo gallery posted this morning on the local organ’s website.
Should the Post’s ‘journalists’ wish to cure themselves of acute homophonia, help is at hand up at Bristol University.
Its website has a handy grammar tutorial page for the illiterati on the simple differences between there, their and they’re.
To quote from that page
There is the place, i.e. not here.
Their is the possessive form indicating belonging to them.
They’re is the contracted form of “they are”.
Have you got that, Bristol Post, if so Bristol University’s site also has a useful exercise to check whether the lesson has sunk in.
