please tell me you are kidding vivi…. it is about the sign, and no “their” is not correct, neither is “There” try going with “they’re” as in “they are learning.”

By: iHeartVivi

Is the joke about the people who crossed it out… or the sign… because “Their” is correct

Their: Meaning: to self, to other
There: Meaning: Place

Perhaps this is a deliberate construction—”their” could be a possessive pronoun modifying the noun “learning.” If such is the case, these games would serve to void knowledge. Seeing as this seems to be the function of most video games, this just might be one of the more accurate and honest ads out there!

Their/ They’re are both fine though. “Their” just has a slightly different meaning than intended.

Don’t you mean “would have”?

By: repg

repg — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 12:44:47 +0000

Much isn’t necessary. “Fun” is an adjective and “so” is an adverb. Adverbs modify adjectives (and verbs). Adding “much” makes “fun” a noun. There’s no reason it needs to be a noun. It may sound better as modified, but it’s not wrong as is.

“I would of never noticed!”

Do you mean that you would HAVE never noticed?

Are you sure of that?

By: Nataliejo

Their is used possessively. That was their mayonnaise.
There refers to a place. The shirt is over there.
They’re means “they are”. So much fun, they won’t even know they’re learning!

Yay! Problem solved!! =)

I Dunno if this was actually said, all those chains withouth sense are boring to read… anyway, this is correct…

OK, i dont talk english as my 1st language, but they dont use “their” as they’re, it means the knownledge(?) as an objet, so they say their learning, in spanish is common using stuff like that… It would be like this on spanish: “Tan divertido que ni siquiera sabran de **SU** aprendizaje” as meaning they’ll dont knowthe knownledge they have just aquired…

Anyway, as i dont speak english i couldn’t say if they are doing it at “my way” and they try to mean “they’re”…
