    Just so you're all aware:

    It's - It is (I.e. It's over).
    Its - Posessive (I.e. Its blade is sharp).

    I had read this on a website a while back, so it may be incorrect. However, I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

    Don't forget there, their, and they're,

    <i><u><b>There</b></u></i>
    Marine: Go over there to that hive
    Skulk: Rush to that rt over there

    <i><u><b>No Nos</b></u></i>
    Marine: There chamber is an mc
    Skulk: rush there base

    <i><u><b>Their</b></u></i>
    Marine: Their hive is cargo
    Skulk: Their commander is marine

    <i><u><b>No Nos</b></u></i>
    Marine: Their coming for us
    Skulk: Their rushing cargo

    <i><u><b>They're</b></u></i>
    Marine: They're putting up the hive in generator
    Alien: They're building an arms lab!

    <i><u><b>No Nos</b></u></i>
    Marine: They're hive is cargo
    Alien: Lets go over they're (Of course no one would say it)
    Skulk: They're rt is near generator

    What can I say. Everyone loves a psychotic flower bent on world domination who can take some time out of his day to beat through the thick damn skulls of morons as to how to use a punctuation mark correctly. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    The correct version:

    Yeah I totally agree with you Future, their are way too many <b>people</b> on this forum that don't use proper grammer at all. There speling is atrocius and almost unreadible.

    ...you spelled spelling wrong, along with unreadable and atrocious.

    Additionally, that's the wrong 'their' in there.

    [edit] "Yeah" should really be seperated off by a comma, too. You know, if you want proper punctuation but that's leaving necessity and becoming picky.
    [edi2] Also of note, grammar is spelled wrong, too.
