This is a link to one of my favorite comics by The Oatmeal. They have done many grammar/English related comics, but I like this one especially because it addresses the different uses of their/there/they're, you're/your, and its/it's. I'm not sure why so many people have trouble with these usages, but it's one of my pet peeves! As a teacher, I'm going to make sure my students at least know the difference between these words, even if they don't always use them correctly on the internet. This comic would even make a great handout! http://theoatmeal.com/comics/misspelling
